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.

Basic problems and methods of philosophy. Topics such as morality, personal identity, free will and determinism, and the meaning of life. Credit will be granted for only one of PHIL 100 or PHIL 102. Please note: PHIL 101 and PHIL 102 are independent introductory courses and do not need to be taken in sequential order.

COVID-19 notice: The instructor will provide asynchronous lecture material for each reading. Students will be assessed about these materials in the assessment quizzes. Furthermore, once a week there will be a synchronous tutorial session online, which you can either attend or for which you can submit an audio question asynchronously. Attendance at the tutorial OR submission of an audio question count towards your attendance grade. The tutorials are not meant for new lecture material, but for question and answer sessions with the instructor/TAs. This course is designed to accommodate students who cannot attend online meetings. The tutorials, which are online meetings, do not require attendance as they will be recorded and audio questions can be submitted in lieu of attendance. All lecture materials will be provided so students can access them at their convenience. However, students must have the capability for one online meeting: the final exam interview with the instructor.

This course will introduce you to some of the major issues, theories, and debates in moral philosophy. It is divided into three parts. Part 1 will focus on some basic conceptual puzzles concerning the self. Are human beings basically selfish? Are they motivated only by pleasure? Can we rationally evaluate ways of life that are
radically unlike our own? Why should one care about living a moral life in the first place? These are some of the questions we will explore. Part 2 will examine three major moral theories: Aristotle’s eudaemonist virtue ethics; Immanuel Kant’s deontological ethics; and John Stuart Mill’s utilitarian moral theory. When we morally evaluate actions, should we look primarily to the agent’s intentions, or to the action’s consequences? Or are there other considerations beyond these? These are some of the questions we will consider. Part 2 will conclude with a discussion of the role of the emotions in moral reasoning. Finally, Part 3 will focus on moral issues related to death and mortality, starting with global famine and abortion. We will then consider the (surprisingly difficult!) question of whether death is a misfortune for the person who dies. What are our obligations to relieve great suffering around the world? Is there a meaningful moral distinction to be drawn between allowing someone to die, on the one hand, and killing them, on the other? Is it rational to fear one’s own death? These are some of the issues we will explore.

This course aims to provide you with the skills to (i) apply philosophical theories to a wide range of moral issues; (ii) formulate and defend competing positions on these issues; and (iii) evaluate the broader debate. Beyond this, it hopes to make you a better reader and writer of philosophy in general.

GRIFFIN, MICHAEL

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 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 status. We will explore these debates. Next, Part 2 asks the question, ‘What should we do about injustice?’ Again, even where philosophers 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 wealth redistribution, civil disobedience, Indigenous land claims, and righteous anger as remedies for historical injustices. Finally, Part 3 will focus on our moral obligations to past- and future generations. Do we have moral obligations to people who no longer exist, or who do not yet exist? If so, why? And do we have certain rights against them? We will investigate these puzzles as they arise in connection with reparations for slavery, reproductive rights, and environmental justice. Along the way we’ll explore deontological- and utilitarian moral theories, and we’ll consider competing theories of justice.

This course aims to provide you with the skills to (i) apply philosophical theories to a wide range of contemporary moral issues; (ii) formulate and defend competing positions on these issues; and (iii) evaluate the broader debate. Beyond this, it hopes to make you a better reader and writer of philosophy in general.

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 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 good person? As we will see, Plato's distinctive formulations of these questions are of as much philosophical interest as his answers.

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.

The course offers an overview of the main arguments for theistic belief (the cosmological, teleological and ontological arguments) and the main arguments against theistic belief (the logical argument from evil, the evidential argument from evil, and Hume's arguments from evil). We also relate these debates to different forms of theism, including Greek philosophical theism, Christian theism, and Confucian theism.

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.

"Philosophy and Literature" addresses philosophical issues in works of literature or arising from theories of literary interpretation. Topics include issues relating to relativism, the nature of morality, free will, personal identity, and the nature of emotions. This course in particular will be about the question of what the interpretation of texts and the methods associated with interpretation (hermeneutics) can teach us about more general philosophical questions such as metaphysics, scientific method, moral responsibility, and personal identity.

COVID-19 notice: The instructor will provide asynchronous lecture material for each reading. Students will be assessed about these materials in the assessment quizzes. Furthermore, once a week there will be a synchronous tutorial session online, which you can either attend or for which you can submit an audio question asynchronously. Attendance at the tutorial OR submission of an audio question count towards your attendance grade. The tutorials are not meant for new lecture material, but for question and answer sessions with the instructor. This course is designed to accommodate students who cannot attend online meetings. The tutorials, which are online meetings, do not require attendance as they will be recorded and audio questions can be submitted in lieu of attendance. All lecture materials will be provided so students can access them at their convenience. However, students must have the capability for one online meeting: the final exam interview with the instructor.

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.

We read the groundbreaking existentialist writings of the Scandinavian philosopher Kierkegaard, including Either/Or (1843), Fear and Trembling (1843), and The Sickness Unto Death (1847). Questions brought up concern love and hate, life and death, and meaning and meaninglessness.

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.

PHILOSOPHY IN AND FOR TOUGH TIMES
Times are tough. A year ago, who would have foreseen that we would now be enduring a global pandemic? As of June 2020, nearly 400,000 people have died worldwide, while the livelihoods of billions of people have been disrupted. As I write these words, massive political protests against racism and police violence in the United States and the world beyond are underway. Meanwhile, we face an inescapable, planetary climate emergency. Biodiversity experts warn that it makes deadly disease outbreaks increasingly likely.

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.

Death is on a very short list of life’s certainties. However, the philosophical issues it raises are numerous and complex. This course will introduce you to some of the main debates related to life, death, and mortality. It is divided into three parts. Part 1 will focus on the question of what it means for someone to be dead. Do we cease to exist when we die? Is there an afterlife? Can we properly have an experience of our own mortality? These are some of the questions we will investigate. Part 2 will focus on the (surprisingly difficult!) question of whether death is bad for the person who dies, and why. Our aim in this section is to illuminate the philosophical motivations for what is called the deprivation account, the prevailing explanation of death’s badness. Finally, Part 3 will turn to the related question of what makes a life go well, examining several accounts of well-being. Some of the authors we will read: Plato, Epicurus, John Perry, Thomas Nagel, and Susan Wolf.
