Dr. Carlos A. Colombetti Professor of Philosophy
Welcome! I teach courses in philosophy, critical thinking, and logic. All of the courses listed below are introductory and do not have to be taken in any particular sequence. However, I would urge all students to take at least one course in critical thinking and logic (PHIL 103, PHIL 200, or both). All courses are UC/CSU transferable. You can download a syllabus with the links below. My office is room 1-213 (see the current syllabus for office hours). If you plan to transfer as a philosophy major, I would be happy to provide advice and mentoring. Please visit the Philosophy Department page to view the catalog listing of courses. Feel free to ask me about other programs and projects that I’ve been involved with: Honors Transfer Program, the Study Abroad Program, SLOAC (Student Learning Outcome Assessment Cycle), and the GSA (Gay-Straight Alliance).
