This course is a self-contained introduction to philosophy in the Western tradition. We will not follow a chronological order but will proceed thematically, covering material in the philosophy of religion, moral philosophy, epistemology, and metaphysics. We will discuss texts written by philosophers of the past, from antiquity to the 20th century. Note: This course has mandatory discussion sections. Students must also register in one of the following sections: L01, L02, L03, L04, or L05. COVID-19 notice: In term one, this course will be delivered online. Every student in the course will be required to attend the discussion sections remotely -- online attendance is mandatory. Attendance and participation will account for 6% of the final grade. Online lectures will be available for remote attendance on Collaborate Ultra for interested students, but attending those is optional. Online lectures will be recorded and subsequently posted on the course's Canvas page following their delivery. |

Course Description: What makes science trustworthy? What determines public trust in science? A common answer to these questions is "the scientific method." However, decades of research in philosophy of science, history of science, science and technology studies (STS), and related disciplines have cast into doubt many customary conceptions of the scientific method and the role of science in society. In this course, we will review this research. Our aim will be to complicate our understanding of science while also identifying new possible answers to the questions of trustworthiness and public trust. In the process, we will address a number of secondary questions, including the following: What distinguishes science from pseudoscience? In what sense is science objective? What determines scientific consensus? What is the purpose of science? Is there a tension between science and democracy? COVID-19 Notice: The course is scheduled for Tuesdays and Thursdays, from 11:00 to 12:30 (PT). On Tuesdays, we won't meet. Instead, I'll release prerecorded video lessons for you to view at your convenience before each Thursday meeting. Thursday meetings will be synchronous and consist of interactive lessons and discussion. However, I won't take attendance or evaluate participation. So, why show up? First, interactive lessons and discussions will enhance your learning. Second, we may cover new material. Third, these meetings won't be recorded, both to encourage your attendance and to create a more relaxed environment for participation. This combination of synchronous and asynchronous components is my attempt to balance the flexibility of recorded lectures with the benefits of active learning, which are difficult to achieve asynchronously. Course Materials: You won't be required to purchase any materials for this course. You may, however, need to search for journal articles, magazine articles, and eBooks on the UBC Library website. |

This course traces the early evolution of Ancient Greek philosophy, or the “love of wisdom” (philosophia), from its roots in the myths of Homer (c. 800 BCE) to the dialogues of Plato (429-347 BCE). We focus on the search for self-knowledge (gnōthi seauton), which Greek writers attributed to the Pythia, Oracle at Delphi. This thread will lead us to explore the powers attributed by the Pythia to the gods of Greek mythology, balanced by her emphasis on human freedom and responsibility. We’ll find these Delphic themes shaping the mathematical and musical models of nature and human life developed by early Mediterranean scientists; through literary depictions of the Pythia’s influence on early statecraft in Sparta and Athens; through the Socratic method of radical inquiry, inspired at Delphi; and through the insights of women like Aristoclea of Delphi, Diotima of Mantinea, and Perictione of Athens, respectively recognized as teachers of Pythagoras, Socrates, and Plato, and as sources for several of their distinctive views—self-examination, non-violence, sustainable local communities, gender equality in education and government, and the metaphysical theory of “Forms” or patterns underlying visible reality. These threads converge on Plato’s depiction of Socratic self-cultivation (epimeleia tou heautou), harmonizing rational inquiry and personal inspiration to seek the common interest of the individual and community: well-being (eudaimonia). COVID-19 notice: Each week, students are invited to attend at least one 50-minute, synchronous meeting online. Several alternative times will be made available, including one during the set calendar hour (1-2 PM PDT), and another keyed to timezone preferences. Synchronous attendance is optional but strongly encouraged. The platform for meetings will be determined closer to the term. Pre-recorded video lectures and additional readings will be posted weekly for review, supported by quizzes and group discussions, with guidance from the instructor and TAs. Discussions with the instructor, peers, reflective assignments, and drop-in office hours will also be available online. |

This course will examine an array of contemporary moral issues and the broader philosophical puzzles they raise. It is divided into three parts. Part 1 will explore some ethical issues related to the COVID-19 pandemic. What are an ordinary person’s moral obligations in the current pandemic? What restrictions on our personal choices are permissible in these circumstances? These are some of the questions we will investigate. Part 2 is organized around the question, ‘Who counts, morally speaking?’ We will focus on the moral status of nonhuman animals. What, if anything, justifies the familiar practices of farming, hunting, and experimentation on nonhuman animals? Even among philosophers who agree that nonhuman animals have moral standing, and that much of our treatment of nonhuman animals is on that account morally indefensible, there is a broader disagreement about what grounds this moral standing. We will explore these debates. Finally, Part 3 asks, ‘What should we do about injustice?’ Again, even among philosophers who tend to agree that certain grave injustices have occurred, there are competing answers about how to remedy these injustices. We will outline and evaluate policies of reparations, wealth redistribution, civil disobedience, Indigenous land claims, apology, and righteous anger as remedies for historical injustices. Along the way we’ll explore deontological- and utilitarian moral theories, and we’ll consider competing theories of justice.
COVID-19 notice: Please note that students will be expected to participate in one hour of synchronous instruction per week. All remaining elements of instruction will be asynchronous, except for office hours. |

Introduction to Epistemology is a cross-cultural exploration of philosophical issues about the nature of knowledge and evidence (epistemology). Drawing from both contemporary and Classical South Asian sources, we will examine questions such as: What makes knowledge trustworthy? How is knowledge different from mere opinion? What is the relationship between knowledge and action? How can you tell that you're not dreaming as you read this, or that you're not currently in a computer simulation? How do we communicate knowledge to others? Does diversity help a group make better decisions? Course evaluation will be determined by a combination of essays and in-class exercises. Students registered in this section must also register in a discussion section (L01, L02, L03, L04, or L05). COVID-19 notice: We will have synchronous lectures that will be recorded and available on Canvas. You must register for a discussion section, and you will have synchronous peer exercises during these sessions. We will work with individual students who are not able to attend. |

This is a course in the philosophy of mind as it connects to the cognitive and computer sciences. We will investigate philosophical issues relevant to virtual reality, artificial intelligence, and robots. Our main focus will be on the question whether minds, such as our own, are natural mechanisms, equivalent in some respects to computers. COVID-19 notice: The current plan is for class meetings to use a lecture/discussion format and to take place entirely online. Monday and Friday lectures will be recorded, so that students living in distant time zones can view them during daylight hours. Wednesday class meetings will take place in real time on UBC Canvas Collaborate Ultra and will be used for class discussion, assessment (quizzes and exams), and student presentations. |

This course will introduce you to Plato’s philosophy as he develops it in a number of dialogues: Euthyphro, Protagoras, Phaedo, and Republic. At the time Plato writes these dialogues, the lines between philosophy and other disciplines, such as rhetoric, natural science, and religious prophesy, are not clearly drawn. While part of Plato’s project is to draw and defend precisely these boundaries, the dialogues themselves are a complicated blend of philosophical and dramatic elements. We will examine the interaction between these elements. Some of the more dramatic features we will consider are: the role of the dialectical setting in framing the conversation to come; Plato’s characterizations of Socrates and of his interlocutors; and his use of myth. We will follow Plato’s Socrates as he seeks to answer a variety of philosophical questions: What is the nature of the divine?; Is philosophy a form of rhetoric?; Are we immortal?; How does one become a morally good person?; What reasons does one have to want to be a morally good person? As we will see, Plato’s distinctive formulations of these questions are of as much philosophical interest as his answers. COVID-19 notice: Please note that students will be expected to participate in one hour of synchronous instruction per week. All remaining elements of instruction will be asynchronous, except for office hours. |

We will examine central themes in the philosophical systems of some 17th Century `rationalist' philosophers: René Descartes, Princess Elisabeth of Bohemia, Nicolas Malebranche, Benedict de Spinoza, Gottfried Leibniz, and Émilie du Châtelet. The issues taken up by these philosophers, and how they came to grip with them, helped define modern conceptions of the world and our place in it. We will focus on what these philosophers wrote about metaphysics and epistemology. Topics to be discussed include: skepticism about the external world; free will; the mind-body problem; the existence of God; causality and substance; the nature of philosophical explanation. |

BARTHA, PAUL |
There are two well-developed philosophical theories that try to characterize what it means to make choices rationally. One is decision theory, which considers the position of one agent choosing between several alternatives, with varying levels of information about factors that might influence the resulting outcomes. The other is game theory, which provides techniques for analyzing interactions among several rational agents. This course explains the fundamentals of these two theories and relevant background concepts such as probability and utility. We also explore paradoxical situations where the theories appear to clash with ordinary intuitions about rationality. We will consider applications throughout the course, with emphasis on social applications of game theory, and conclude with an introduction to evolutionary game theory and a discussion of Skyrms’ book, Evolution of the Social Contract. Students who take this course should feel comfortable with technical work. Prior completion of PHIL 120, PHIL 125, PHIL 220, or any introductory-level course in mathematics, computer science, or economics is recommended. COVID-19 notice: Lectures will take place live via Collaborate Ultra but will be recorded and posted for students who are unable to attend. Fully-synchronous course components include a midterm test, a final exam, and an optional weekly tutorial. Please note that the attached syllabus is in draft form and may change before term begins. |

Perhaps the most fundamental concept of political philosophy is “authority.” In the process of pursuing this central topic, we will also consider a number of related issues, including social contract theory, democratic theory, anarchism, liberalism, and justice. Readings will include classic and contemporary sources. We will also consider real life exercises (and abuses) of authority, along with some empirical studies, as sources of philosophical questions and to illustrate philosophical points. COVID-19 notice: during 2020W Term 1, the course (lectures and discussions) will be taught entirely online, and asynchronously (with some synchronous options). |

Scientific research has an impact on all of us, and on every aspect of our lives. This course will provide a general introduction to ethics issues that are raised by the (non-medical) social and natural sciences. It is organized around three central questions: what counts as “responsible conduct of research” (RCR)?; who is accountable for the social and environmental impacts of research?; and what role do social values play in scientific practice? This course is intended for students in the social and natural sciences, as well as in Philosophy. It has no prerequisites but if you have taken ISCI 433 you cannot take this course for credit. Requirements include discussion posts, in-class participation and quizzes (40%), a group presentation (10%), two short essays (25%), and a final exam (25%). COVID-19 notice: For up-to-date information on the status of UBC's 2020W Term 2 courses, please refer to UBC's COVID-19 website. |

This course introduces key texts and ideas from major European philosophers from the eighteenth century onward. The discussion commences with Kant, and follows with texts by Marx, Nietzsche, and Freud on alienation, power, and desire. It then moves on to look at writings by Heidegger, Horkheimer and Adorno, Arendt, Fanon, Beauvoir, Butler, and Foucault. Together, we examine the relationships between knowledge, freedom, and progress to better understand the concepts of humanism and enlightenment from continental perspectives. While this course is restricted to upper-level students, those in their first or second year who are interested in taking the course may contact the course instructor directly, at: willow.verkerk@ubc.ca. COVID-19 notice: The course is scheduled for M, W, F 15:00 - 16:00. Mondays have asynchronous course components. Wednesdays and Fridays have synchronous components. |

We will trace the development of economic thought from Aristotle to Malthus, also reading brief excerpts from the work of Aquinas, Mun, Locke, and Quesnay. We will read, in more depth, the writings of David Hume and Adam Smith, and acquire a broader context from Albert O. Hirschman’s account of the philosophical justification for capitalism. Our focus will be on the conceptual foundations of economics, particularly the problems of value, distribution, and economic growth, as well as the ethical dimensions of commerce. COVID-19 notice: Due to the on-line format, I will record each lecture and also post the lecture notes on Canvas. I will lecture for about an hour in synchronous time, Tuesday and Thursday 3:30 to 4:30. There will be a 5-minute break and I will then lead discussion sections for the remaining 15 minutes, starting in the second week. Some weeks, as noted, do not have discussion meet-ups, and in that case I will lecture for the full 80 minutes. The class will be broken into four groups and you are to attend your assigned discussion group. I will hold two of these in non-synchronous blocks of time, to accommodate students in other time zones, most likely on Friday or the following Monday. The midterm test and final exam will be issued as take-homes, with a 24-hour window to complete. |

We will investigate the history of evolutionary thought, paying particular attention to Darwin’s theory of evolution by natural selection. To broaden our perspective, we will consider not only the scientific but also the social, political, economic, religious, and philosophical sources of Darwin’s ideas. We will also consider his influence in all these areas. The Darwinian revolution was an historical development of wide-ranging significance. COVID-19 notice: during 2020W Term 1, this course (lectures and discussions) will be taught entirely online, and asynchronously (with some synchronous options). |

This course is an introduction to some of the major concepts and issues in contemporary philosophy of science. The orientation of the course is primarily philosophical, rather than historical. The first part of the course is concerned with the nature of evidence and scientific knowledge. Our main topics in this part of the course are the problem of induction, objectivity and values in science, and the confirmation of scientific theories. The second part of the course focuses on broadly metaphysical themes: explanation and causation, laws of nature, and scientific realism. We conclude with a brief discussion of the role of thought experiments in science. COVID-19 notice: Lectures will take place live via Collaborate Ultra but will be recorded and posted for students who are unable to attend. Fully-synchronous course components include a final exam and an optional weekly tutorial. Please note that the attached syllabus is in draft form and may change before term begins. |

This course examines the tradition of Existentialism by looking to both its foundations and its innovations. Most well known through Sartre's statement that "existence precedes essence," the existentialist movement flourished during the twentieth century in France with thinkers such as Camus, Beauvoir, and Fanon. It continues to have great relevance today, structuring our every-day discourses about identity, the meaning of life, and interpersonal relationships. By engaging with the German and French traditions, from Hegel through to Irigaray, this course provides a comprehensive introduction to the philosophy of human existence. COVID-19 notice: Synchronous course components include lectures and discussions which will take place from 12:30 - 13:30 during scheduled Tuesday and Thursday classes. The remaining 30 minutes of class will include asynchronous activities. |

COVID-19 notice: Due to COVID-19, this course will be online. I ask that you make yourself during the assigned meeting time (Wed 2-5pm Pacific Time) for synchronous course activities using A/V capture software Zoom. I ask that you turn on video and audio for our synchronous meetings. During the first meeting I will go over the structure of the course and we will discuss which portion(s) of that reserved in-class time we will use for synchronous activities. My tentative suggestion is to use only 1.5 hours for general lecture/discussion, and to dedicate the other 1.5 hours to asynchronous learning, including watching some videos I plan to post where I discuss the main points of the readings. The forms of assessment will not require A/V capture while you complete them. |

How do we know what (we think) we know about the past? What makes an historical narrative explanatory? And why does history matter? These questions about historical inquiry have long intrigued philosophers and practitioners alike. We will focus on evidential reasoning and narrative construction in history and archaeology, with some comparative examples drawn from the philosophy of geology, evolutionary biology and paleontology. Core texts will include Currie’s Rock, Bone and Ruin: An Optimist’s Guide to the Historical Sciences (2018); Chapman and Wylie’s Evidential Reasoning in Archaeology (2016); Roth’s Philosophical Structure of Historical Explanation (2020); and Trouillot’s Silencing the Past (1995). Requirements: short weekly response posts and in-class presentations (50%); a short expository essay and a final term paper (50%). Prerequisites: no formal prerequisites but it is recommended that you have at least one prior course in an historical science and/or in philosophy of science. Contact the instructor if you have any questions about appropriate background for this course. Graduate credit: contact the instructor to arrange graduate-level requirements if you would like to register for 500-level credit. The request form for graduate credit must be approved before registration closes.

This course will focus on two distinct but related topics in social/political philosophy: the nature, significance and role of solidarity in society and politics; and the problem of complicity, which we may say involves acting for purposes that are benign or laudable but doing so in league with others whose larger interests are at odds with one’s own, and possibly quite bad. Both concepts are difficult and deserve sustained attention, but the combination of them shows some deeper tensions in how to think about the pros and cons of acting collectively. COVID-19 notice: This course will be delivered online. Please see the attached course overview for information regarding synchronous and asynchronous course components. |

In this course, we will consider some of the main philosophical problems that arise in connection with perception, concentrating mainly on visual perception. What is perception? Do we encounter the world directly in perception, or is our perceptual access to the world mediated somehow? Is the concept of representation essential to any adequate account of perception? COVID-19 notice: My current plan is for class meetings to use a lecture/discussion format and to take place entirely online. Monday and Friday lectures will be recorded, so that students living in distant time zones can view them during daylight hours. Wednesday class meetings will take place in real time on UBC Canvas Collaborate Ultra and will be used for class discussion, assessment (quizzes and exams), and student presentations. |

This course is an advanced introduction to the philosophy of mind. Its objective is to introduce you to a variety of philosophical issues about the nature of the mind, especially issues that arise in connection with scientific research on the brain. The course will focus on the nature of consciousness and the self. What is consciousness and how is it related to the brain, the rest of the body, and the physical world? Can consciousness be explained in physical terms? Can there be a scientific understanding of consciousness or will consciousness remain forever mysterious? Is there a self or is the self an illusion? Guided by these questions, we will examine consciousness and the sense of self across a wide variety of states, including awake COVID-19 notice: This course will be delivered asynchronously through Canvas. This means that there are no scheduled class meetings. Instead, the content will consist of remotely delivered modules, each of which will include reading assignments and video lectures by me. We will use the Discussions tool in Canvas for discussion about the class content. Participating in the Canvas discussions is optional. |

PHILOSOPHY IN AND FOR TOUGH TIMES You might think that philosophy is far removed from such upheavals. But philosophy is often born of crisis and responds to it. Marcus Aurelius wrote his Meditations while the Roman Empire was ravaged by a plague that killed over two million people. The founding figures of ancient Chinese philosophy—Mencius (Mengzi), Xunzi, Zhuangzi, Mozi, and Han Fei Zi—were all responding to the brutal strife of the Warring States Period. Boethius composed Consolation of Philosophy while imprisoned and awaiting execution. Albert Camus, Simone de Beauvoir, Jean-Paul Sartre, and Simone Weil wrote major works of philosophy and literature while participating in the French Resistance during World War Two. Crises can create opportunities to step back and think about how the world came to be the way it is and how it could be different. Although such thinking isn’t limited to philosophy, it needs philosophy. The aim of this course is to draw from philosophy and literature to help us think about what we’re going through and how we can choose to respond to it. COVID-19 notice: This course will be delivered asynchronously through Canvas. This means that there are no scheduled class meetings. Instead, the content will consist of assigned readings and corresponding short videos (20 minutes) by me about them. I will hold office hours and drop-in discussion sessions several times a week, again remotely via Canvas. |

'For Love of the World': this phrase was used by a biographer of Hannah Arendt to capture the particular flavour of this iconic political philosopher, whose work engaged more than most with the issues of the day. As someone who had lived through the horrors of WW2 and experienced a world menaced by the Nazi and Bolshevik regimes, she was concerned throughout her life to confront the threat that modern industrialized society posed to the foundations of a moral society. Looking back to the origins of democracy in ancient Greek society and the notion of the public sphere, she wrote passionately about the roots of totalitarianism in colonialism, systemic racism, and the moral and political dangers inherent in the loneliness and alienation of mass society. Her notion of the 'banality of evil' still generates controversy today. |

We will devote the entire course to David Hume (1711-76), arguably the most influential philosopher to have written in the English language. We will undertake a careful reading of Hume's Treatise, covering his epistemology and metaphysics as well as his moral and political philosophy. We will also read Hume's Dialogues Concerning Natural Religion, and the Cambridge Companion to Hume. COVID-19 notice: If the policies change, I will aim to teach face-to-face but have appropriate technological access for those who cannot attend. Ideally, the class will be held in the time block of Wednesday 2 to 5 PM. If it is entirely virtual, we will still aim for that time, but could adjust if enough students are in disparate time zones. Please inform in advance if the assigned time is a significant impairment. |

This graduate seminar will focus on questions about the relationship between epistemology and oppression: the ways in which epistemic factors can contribute to broad social injustices and, reciprocally, how standing conditions of injustice can configure what counts as knowledge and epistemic authority. Central texts include Medina’s Epistemology of Resistance (2013), Haslanger’s Critical Theory and Practice (2017), and Mary Kate McGowan’s Just Words (2019). Seminar meetings will be organized around student presentations and discussion, with 60% of the final grade based on regular weekly assignments (including presentations) and 60% on a final (6000 word) research paper. This seminar is designed for MA and PhD philosophy students but if you are an advanced undergraduate or a graduate student in another field, or would like to audit the seminar, please contact the instructors. Jonathan Ichikawa: ichikawa@gmail.com Alison Wylie: alison.wylie@ubc.ca COVID-19 notice: We will be meeting online and, given the emphasis on discussion, we encourage synchronous attendance. If you cannot join the seminar at the scheduled time please contact the instructors to discuss asynchronous options. |

What underlies our ability to acquire the rich and varied concepts that structure how we think about the world? Do human conceptual capacities largely trace back to a powerful form of general intelligence? Or do they depend in part on innate special-purpose psychological systems for thinking in specific types of ways? This seminar will explore the latter (nativist) approach to the origins of concepts. We will discuss different interpretations of the nativist position and how it relates to debates about nature-nurture and debates about what it might mean to say that a trait is innate. We will also examine a surprisingly large number of arguments that factor into the case for a nativist approach, while taking up a variety of important case studies (for example, the origins of such concepts as ‘belief’, ‘cause’, and ‘number’). For more information about this course, please see Dr. Margolis' website. COVID-19 notice: In the event that this course has to take place online, it will still be organized as a seminar with the usual focus on class discussion and student presentations, using Zoom or an equivalent video conference tool. |

The Evolution of Rationality: Does natural selection favour rational or reliable beliefs? We will examine the debate between those who think selection favours rational or reliable belief formation and those who have been skeptical of any such connection. To do this, we’ll look at some models of the evolution of the emotions, moral psychology and religious belief, since some argue that these are sources of irrationality. En passant, we’ll consider some general issues in philosophy of biology about the strength of natural selection and how evolutionary hypotheses are tested. COVID-19 notice: The course will likely be online and class lecture and discussion will occur synchronously (Mondays, 14:00 – 17:00). |
