Current Core Offering

What is truth? And how do we know what is true and what is not? This Explore Core course will attempt to answer these questions from three different perspectives, history, philosophy, and biology. We sometimes hear that we live in a “post-truth” moment. Subject to an incessant bombardment of news and opinion, knowing anything for sure may appear to be impossible. And yet, at the same time, most of us instinctively know we cannot give up on the search for truth, most certainly not in college. We invite you to join the search and learn about approaches for finding truth in three different academic disciplines and in your own life.
