What does it mean to say that we know something?  Does the world around us exist, or is it all just a dream? What would the just state look like?  What is it to be a just individual?  Do we have free will?  Does it make a difference whether we have free will?  Can machines think?  Can they have free will?  Does God exist?  Would the existence of God affect how we answer the preceding questions?  Ancient as well as modern sources will be used to explore these and other questions.
