CAS PH 150 A1: Introduction to Ethics
Professor Daniel Star
Monday, Wednesday, Friday 12:20 PM – 1:10 PM
This course focuses on a set of interrelated questions about morality: What is morality? How should I live? What does morality require of us in our daily lives, if it requires anything at all? Is morality universal? Or, is it relative or subjective? What is the relationship between morality and religion? Answering such questions will help us to understand what the most important features of morality are. We will look both at traditional moral theories that attempt to specify what morality requires of us (Utilitarianism, Kantianism, Contractarianism and Virtue Ethics), and at the application of these theories to many specific moral issues.

CAS PH 261 A1: Puzzles and Paradoxes
Professor Nicholas Westberg
Tuesday, Thursday 12:30 PM – 1:45 PM
Some of our most basic beliefs, when scrutinized, lead to absurd conclusions. For example, using only beliefs that seem uncontroversial, we can conclude that motion is impossible, that everyone is bald, and it is impossible to give a surprise exam. Carefully scrutinizing the reasoning that leads to these absurdities often yields substantial philosophical insight. In this course, we will examine a number of such puzzles and paradoxes in detail.

Professor Alisa Bokulich
Tuesday, Thursday 11:00 AM – 12:15 PM
The goal of this course is to come to a deeper and more reflective understanding of the nature of science and technology, their ethical implications, and their impact on society. As citizens, business people, and policy makers we cannot afford to be ignorant of the developments in science and technology. As scientists, engineers, or healthcare professionals—or even simply as consumers—we cannot afford to be ignorant of the ethical, social and political implications of our practices. In this course we shall examine some of the important ways in which science, technology, society, and values are interconnected. The course will include case studies of particular technologies such as artificial intelligence (e.g. ChatGPT) /machine learning, prescription drugs & CRISPR, and more.

CAS PH 360 A1: Symbolic Logic
Staff Instructor
Tuesday, Thursday 12:30 PM – 1:45 PM
A survey of the concepts and principles of symbolic logic: valid and invalid arguments, logical relations of statements and their basis in structural features of statements, analysis of the logical structure of complex statements of ordinary discourse, and the use of a symbolic language to display logical structure and to facilitate methods for assessing the logical structure of arguments. We cover the analysis of reasoning with truth-functions (“and”, “or”, “not”, “if … then”) and with quantifiers (“all”, “some”), attending to formal languages and axiomatic systems for logical deduction. Throughout, we aim to clearly and systematically display both the theory underlying the norms of valid reasoning and their applications to particular problems of argumentation. The course is an introduction to first-order quantificational logic, a key tool underlying work in foundations of mathematics, philosophy of language and mind, philosophy of science and parts of syntax and semantics. It is largely mathematical and formal in character, but lectures situate these structures within the context of questions raised in contemporary philosophy of language and mind.
Prerequisites: One philosophy course or sophomore standing.

CAS PH 416 A1: Hegel
Professor Allen Speight
Thursday 3:30 PM – 6:15 PM
This course is designed to be a semester-long intensive exploration of Hegel’s thought with a focus on his central concept of spirit or mind (Geist). We will explore this concept in several key Hegelian texts, starting with its emergence in the 1807 Phenomenology of Spirit (which Hegel wrote took to be the introduction to his system) and then focusing on its ultimate role in Hegel’s mature system or Encyclopedia. We’ll look particularly at its importance for the systematic account Hegel gives of such topics as social theory, natural science, religion, art and philosophy. Careful reading of key primary texts as well as important contemporary Hegel interpretations (Brandom, McDowell, Pippin, Pinkard, etc).
Prerequisites: CAS PH 310 and two courses in philosophy above the 100 level or consent of the instructor.

An intensive study of Wittgenstein’s Tractatus Logico-Philosophicus (1921) and his Philosophical Investigations (1953) with contemporary philosophical problems in mind and attention to Wittgenstein’s overall development. Our focus will be Wittgenstein’s talk of “forms of life” in relation to problems about the notions of truth, meaning, philosophical method, necessity, representation, and the notions of perception, experience, and life. Themes covered will include the nature of concept-possession, normativity, rule-following, occasion sensitivity, literary dimensions of these texts, and their place in modernist 20th century philosophy.
Prerequisites: CAS PH 310 and two other philosophy courses, or consent of instructor.
