PHI 1113 - Greek and Roman Philosophy Credits: 4.0
What is reality, and how did the world come into being? What is the nature of knowledge and the human soul? What does it mean to live an ethical life?

This course examines the major philosophers of this period: the Presocratics, Socrates, the Sophists, Plato, Aristotle, and the founders of the Hellenistic schools (Stoicism, Epicureanism, Skepticism) and Neoplatonism. The course focuses on primary source materials—the philosophical texts themselves—as well as on the historical and cultural context of Greek and Roman civilization within which philosophy took shape.

PHI 2101 - 2050: Utopia-Dystopia Credits: 4
Biogenetic engineering, artificial intelligence and digital industries, the three shapers of what is coined the ‘Fourth Revolution’ make us dream of overcoming the limitations of the human condition. A world of brain-nets and instant knowledge transmission, designer-babies and human-robot fusions are viewed in public discourse as either utopian promise or dystopian decline. But no matter how we anticipate the future, the reality we know will disappear. In this course, we will study the projected transformations of the Fourth Revolution and how they impact human lives. Specifically, we will focus on the following questions: How will artificial intelligence and bioengineered augmentations redefine what it means to be human? Will access to these enhancement technologies divide us into human and ‘transhumans,’ thereby amplifying socio-economic divides? How will our social interactions and communication patterns be impacted by calculative values designed for and by artificial intelligence? How might philosophical and literary conceptualizations of utopia, ‘retrotopia,’ and dystopia help us to step into this new era? Martin Heidegger, Jean Baudrillard, Zygmunt Bauman and other philosophers anticipated some of the problems arising out of technological progress. Engaging with their analysis and commendations, we will formulate our own pathway into the future.

Emphasis will be placed on the guarantees of the First Amendment to our Constitution, our trial rights as set forth under various amendments to the Constitution and our due process rights as set forth in the Constitution and Bill Of Rights. Various selected movies will be used as a vehicle for enhancing the discussion of the dynamics existing between the law and our moral beliefs.

PHI 2206 - Philosophy of Love and Sex Credits: 4.0

PHI 2224 - Plato’s Search for Knowledge Credits: 4.0
This course attempts to understand the dialogues of Plato, with their ironic protagonist Socrates, by locating them in the cultural, political and intellectual context of late fifth and early fourth century BCE Greece. Plato was engaged in a struggle to establish philosophy as a superior form of knowledge based on reason and dialectic. He tried to demonstrate that the sources and methods on which others based their knowledge—poetry, politics, religion and rhetoric—were unreliable and dangerous. We will read the dialogues of Plato against other culturally important materials: the epics of Homer, the rhetoric of the sophists, the political thought of Thucydides, Athenian tragedy. And we will measure the success of Plato’s efforts by asking to what extent one can ever hope to transcend one’s cultural context and attain knowledge that is secure, objective, “absolute”—a question as relevant in our own turbulent times as it was in Plato’s.

PHI 2229 - Asian Philosophy Credits: 4
This course will introduce students to some of the major Asian philosophical traditions. We will explore foundational texts in Confucian, Daoist, Hindu, and Buddhist schools of thought with an eye to how these major traditions influence and respond to each other. In addition, we will discuss the benefits and risks of engaging Asian philosophers by comparing them to Western thinkers. Our guiding questions will be: What is the nature of reality? What is the self? What is the meaning of human existence? And, how should one live? Another major point of focus will be the relation between theory and practice. Many of the authors who we will read do not merely aim at communicating objects of knowledge to the reader; rather, they aim to transform the reader’s very being. This course is unique in that it approaches philosophy as a practice. While
students will become familiar with how authors respond to philosophical problems, it is hoped that the course will open up a space in which students can develop the ability to think critically about their own lived experience in light of the readings.

Emphasis will be on the historical and cultural context of each work and its relationship to philosophical issues of the time. The course will also examine more general questions: what is the difference between literary discourse and other forms of philosophical presentation? what kind of knowledge does literature offer? how do we determine the intentions of a literary work and its author, and why does that matter? what role does literature play in the development of compassion and ethical response?

PHI 2232 - The Power of Pretty Credits: 4
Throughout the history of western philosophy, femininity has been defined in bodily terms, and closely connected to the ideal of beauty. A woman’s worth has been tied to her physical appearance. The female body has long dominated thinking about women and thus exhibits power over the way that women see themselves; however, there are many counter-examples from the past and today
of women who use their beauty and sexuality as expressions of power. This course will explore the way that women have contested or embraced concepts of feminine beauty. Guiding questions
include: What does it mean to be a woman? What does it mean to have a female body? How do women ‘perform’ beauty? Is this performance a form of self-expression or is it intended for the masculine gaze?
