Contemporary philosophy explores key dimensions of the self. We’re creatures who love, who cultivate our aesthetic sensibilities, who yearn for meaning and detest boredom. We endeavour to see the world for what it is, respect each other as knowers, use science, and avoid bullshit. By the end of the year, you’ll have been introduced to the major branches of contemporary philosophy, and you’ll have learned to analyze and critique structures of reasoning, using them to upgrade your own thinking, especially as expressed in writing. |

This course is a self-contained, year-long 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. The material to be covered can be demanding, but students will have the opportunity to mull over and discuss the arguments and topics raised in lectures in their weekly discussion sections. |

Course Description: This course is about knowledge we can trust. We’ll explore historical and contemporary philosophical accounts of evidence, truth, objectivity, and critical reasoning with the aim of introducing you to core philosophical problems in epistemology (philosophical theories of knowledge), and building a set of skills and resources for evaluating knowledge claims. We’ll use these philosophical tools and resources to make sense of the massive overload of knowledge – including misinformation, “alternate facts,” deliberately misleading claims – that confront us on a daily basis. Course Format: Synchronous class meetings will include short lectures and in-class discussion. Requirements: Weekly posts and quizzes, two short essays, and a take-home exam. |

Philosophy challenges us with questions that are directed to our most basic intellectual assumptions and forces us to think hard about ourselves and our position in the world. With its focus on arguments, philosophy also brings clarity and rigour to matters that may otherwise seem inherently obscure and perplexing. Different instructors teach PHIL 101 in different ways. The approach I take doesn’t emphasize historical analysis and won’t touch on the many philosophical systems that are associated with the great philosophers of the past. Instead, the course will focus on a small number of philosophical problems and some important ways of thinking about them. Topics include: Does God exist? Do people have souls? Is there free will? Are there objective moral facts? Further information about this course can be located here: https://www.margolisphilosophy.com/teaching.html |

The course offers an overview of Western Philosophy from its beginning up to the present. After a brief overview of Greco-Roman and Medieval Philosophy, we take a closer look at the ground-breaking writings of Descartes and Hume, which did much to pave the way for modern philosophy. We study how the questions they raised, and the ideas and arguments they offered, have been responded to by generations of philosophers down to the present day. Among questions discussed are: “What can we know?” “What ought we do?” and “What can we hope?” (and a plethora of more detailed questions that can be grouped under these three general questions). |

In a sense, this course is not so much about moral philosophy as about your lives. Through introducing a number of value and moral theories, this course aims to develop your ethical thinking skills; that is, the ability to identify ethically relevant considerations, to take into account the interests of all stakeholders, and to make ethically-informed decisions in your lives. The topics discussed in this course will also give you opportunities to think critically about issues that concern your lives and to use your own live experiences to critique moral philosophy. |

This course provides an introduction to philosophical ethics and social political thought through the reading of four texts, two from ancient Greek antiquity and two from the twentieth century. By immersing ourselves in the thought of each author in turn, we will explore some of the classical issues discussed in ethics, including individual responsibility, the purpose of human existence, the nature of community and social responsibility, and the meaning of justice, law and good government. |

This course is intended as a general introduction to some of the methods, themes, and ideas at stake across three major philosophical traditions; in classical Greece, China, and India. These traditions introduce questions about how we should live (and die), about what is valuable and worthy of pursuit, about human nature, self-knowledge and self-deception. We will approach these questions with an eye to their relevance in the present day, for both contemporary philosophical debate and as tools for scrutinizing our own commitments and assumptions. Assessment will encourage skills central to the practice of philosophy: reading and understanding texts and their arguments, and conveying these in writing and discussion. |

This course looks at the relationship of ethics to happiness: What is happiness? Is it ethical to promote everyone's happiness, or only the happiness of those who deserve it (and what does it take to "deserve" to be happy)? How do we measure or evaluate how happy someone is? What does it take to be happy? Does "happiness" mean the same thing in different cultures or throughout history? Should we try to promote overall happiness as a goal for society? This course will address these and related questions, using readings from the historical and contemporary philosophers, psychologists, feminist thinkers, and some literary, artistic, and religious writers for good measure. Students will have a chance to critically consider some recently popular courses that try to teach students how to be happy, and some of the emphasis psychology has recently placed on "happiness studies." Through looking at how happiness has appeared in philosophical and social scientific thinking, students will get a broad overview of how philosophers think about ethics, and how it relates to individual decision-making, public policy, and human psychology. |

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 traces the early evolution of ancient Greek philosophy, the “love of wisdom” (philosophia), from its roots in Homeric oral poetry (c. 800 BCE) to the Socratic dialogues of Plato (429-347 BCE). We’ll focus on the ancient Greek search for knowledge about nature and the human condition, which many philosophers attributed to an injunction from the Oracle at Delphi: “Know Thyself.” That inquiry unfolded into mythological and scientific speculation about reality and cosmology, human freedom and well-being, and new conceptions of statecraft and justice in cities like Sparta and Athens. We’ll trace these themes through Presocratic thinkers like Pythagoras, Thales, Anaximander, and Anaximenes, and explore the insights of women like Aristoclea of Delphi, Diotima of Mantinea, and Perictione of Athens, respectively depicted in Greek literature as teachers of Pythagoras, Socrates, and Plato. According to later sources, their traditions argued for ethical non-violence, sustainable communities, gender equality in education and government, and a theory of stable metaphysical patterns underlying visible reality. These threads converge in Plato’s depiction of Socratic self-cultivation (epimeleia tou heautou), combining novel instruments of rational inquiry with personal inspiration to seek human flourishing (eudaimonia) as a goal of each individual and community. |

This course explores Greek and Roman philosophical movements after the life of Plato, during the Hellenistic period (323-31 BCE) and the later Roman Empire. We’ll investigate the ideas of Cynics, Aristotelians, Academic Skeptics, Stoics, and Neoplatonists, with a focus on reading later Stoics like Epictetus and Marcus Aurelius, Neoplatonists like Plotinus, and surviving evidence for several of the most influential women in later Greek philosophy, including Hipparchia and Hypatia.
These philosophers shared an interest in ‘philosophy as a way of life’, or how human beings can deploy philosophy as an instrument to live a happier life individually and benefit their community. At the same time, they differ on the goals of the philosophically lived life: should we strive for moderated joy, as the Epicureans suggest? Reasoned and socially constructive goodness, with the Stoics? Or a flight to a realm of pure ideas, with the Neoplatonists? Can we really become impervious to harm from affairs beyond our control—and should we even wish to be?
By juxtaposing the different schools’ answers to these questions with the Skeptics’ challenge that there are no answers, and reading the original sources carefully against the background of major movements and social changes in their time, we’ll try to better understand what motivated ancient philosophical movements and how they are understood and repurposed today. |

Quantified Logic with identity. We will practice translating English sentences into sentences in formal languages, and we will learn how to use these formal languages to evaluate arguments. Along the way we will uncover some fascinating features of these formal languages. We will learn how to use tools like truth tables, truth trees, and natural deduction diagrams. We will also cover key concepts in logic, such as validity, logical truth, logical falsehood, consistency, soundness, and completeness. |

This course provides an introduction to the language and methods of contemporary symbolic logic. We will learn how to represent natural language statements and arguments in symbolic form and how to evaluate them using formal methods. Along the way, we will also stop to reflect on some of the properties of the formal language and methods and the significance of logic for other intellectual pursuits. Class meetings will be a mix of lecture, discussion, and workshop. We'll be doing lots of exercises both as homework and in class. |

This course is an introduction to symbolic logic. You will learn two logics and associated proof systems, using them to define and then test for the presence of some important logical relations. You will also learn how to determine whether the proof systems are adequate. In the process, you will acquire some tools for representing and assessing bits of reasoning and, more broadly, for understanding the expressive power of language and thought. |

Logic, broadly construed, is the study of reasoning. More speci_cally, it is the study of correct reasoning. What might we mean when we classify an argument as a \good" one? What makes one argument good and another poor? What do good arguments have in common? Formal logic aims to study these questions from a content-free perspective|by abstracting away from the spe- ci_c meanings of particular sentences and arguments, and focusing instead on their underlying structures, one can obtain insights and characterizations far more general than those a_orded by case-by-case scrutiny. This course is an introduction to formal logic. In addition to obtaining a strong foundation in the syntax and semantics of propositional and predicate logic (up to, and including, identity), students will also be exposed to some basic metatheory, and those who successfully complete this course should _nd themselves well-equipped to enrol in upper-level logic courses where the focus is either philosophical or mathematical. |

This course is an introduction to formal logic. Logic is the study of argument forms; “formal” in this context means that we will be studying arguments using rigid rules and procedures. A formal logic course is very different from other courses in Philosophy, or in Arts in general; it is in many ways more like mathematics. Students will produce proofs, not essays, for this course. We will learn the syntax and semantics of propositional and predicate logic, and develop proof systems for each. We will draw connections to significant historical and contemporary ideas in philosophy, but the main goal of the course is the mastery of formal logic itself, as well as an introduction to metalogic, where we will examine significant proofs about our formal system. |

This course surveys some of the main roots and thinkers of the Western ethical tradition, focusing on virtue ethics, deontology, and consequentialism. Texts include Aristotle's Nicomachean Ethics, Kant's Groundwork of the Metaphysics of Morals, and Mill's Utilitarianism. A selection of contemporary readings will also be covered to illustrate more recent developments of these theories. Topics include the places of reason, emotion, culture, happiness, and care in ethics, friendship, and whether ethics is subjective or objective. COVID-19 notice: The course is scheduled for M, W, F 14:00-15:00. Mondays have asynchronous course components. Wednesdays and Fridays have synchronous components. |

Course Description: This course will explore a range of key questions and debates in ethics and moral philosophy including:
Through the examination of contemporary texts and classic texts, students will consider different moral theories including deontology, consequentialism, virtue ethics, moral pluralism, and moral particularism. Students will also examine how key concepts such as ought, reason, duty, good, value, justice, and virtue figure in these theories. Students will additionally explore various practical ethical issues including the ethics of abortion, environmental ethics, and the relation between happiness and goodness. Course Format: The course will include two 3-hour, synchronous Zoom meetings per week (on Tuesdays and Thursdays) as well as directed reading, in-class essay writing, and dedicated office hours. Detailed notes will be provided to accompany each lecture. The lectures will not be recorded. Where possible, the teaching format will be adjusted in response to students’ circumstances and needs. |

This course is intended to survey the western, European tradition of philosophical writings on morality and ethics, with a view to learning about the historical development of our contemporary ethical views, the structure of different ethical positions, and the strengths and weaknesses of different philosophical approaches to morality. This is by no means an exhaustive treatment of the subject, but it will prepare students for further study of philosophical ethics, as well as provide invaluable background to the intellectual traditions of the West over the last 2500 years. |

This course surveys some of the main roots and thinkers of the Western ethical tradition, starting from its basis in ancient Greek and Judeo-Christian thought, and then synthesized and secularized in the modern era. Main texts include Aristotle’s Nicomachean Ethics, excerpts from the Bible and Christian scholars, Hobbes’ Leviathan, Hume’s Treatise of Human Understanding, Kant’s Groundwork of the Metaphysics of Morals, and Mill’s Utilitarianism. Some more contemporary readings will also be covered to illustrate more recent developments in this philosophical tradition. Main topics include the places of reason, emotion, culture, and happiness in ethics; the role of self-interest vs. duty to others; and whether ethics is objective or subjective. Students will gain a broad overview of ethics in the Western philosophical tradition, as well as skill in thinking and writing carefully about an ethical topic of their own choosing. |

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. |

Although we will examine works by historically important figures such as Plato, Sextus Empiricus, Descartes and Hume, the primary focus of this course will be on assessing philosophical arguments and theories for their correctness. |

This course will provide an introduction to epistemology---the study of how and what we know---by focusing on the question of trust. We'll ask to what extent we can trust the world, ourselves, other people, and institutions. We'll draw on materials from Classical South Asian and contemporary analytic epistemology. The plan is for us to meet in-person. Lectures will not be recorded, but PowerPoints will be made available on Canvas for each week. Students will submit weekly assignments that they complete in small groups during their discussion sessions, a short-answer midterm paper, and a short-answer final paper. Discussion sessions may end up meeting online to facilitate small group interactions. |

Phil 240 is an introduction to philosophical issues about the nature of knowledge and evidence (epistemology). We will address questions such as: What distinguishes knowledge from mere opinion? Are there fundamentally different ways of knowing about the world? How can you tell that you’re not dreaming as you read this? Are our beliefs about the future justified? How? Is it wrong to believe things for which you have insufficient evidence? Are conspiracy theories always irrational? Why are people disposed to believe them? Although we will examine works by historically important figures such as Plato, Sextus Empiricus, Descartes and Hume, the primary focus of this course will be on assessing philosophical arguments and theories for their correctness. Students will be required to participate in person in regular small group activities, as well as write two essays and take the final exam. See the philosophy department website for a full syllabus. |

This is an introduction to philosophical issues concerning the nature of knowledge and justification. Our goal is to understand the work of the contemporary epistemologist Amia Srinivasan. On the way there, we will pick up the basic tool box of epistemology and learn about justified true belief, Gettier cases, standpoint epistemology, and the internalism versus externalism debate. |

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. |

Course Description: What is a human mind? In an attempt to answer this question, many philosophers and cognitive scientists maintain that the human mind is, in some important sense, a computer. In this course, we will introduce and assess this view. In particular, we will try to figure out to which extent this seemingly metaphorical claim can help us explain how humans think, feel, and apprehend the world. This will then lead us to explore questions as to whether machines can have minds too, and whether they can be conscious. There are no prerequisites for this course and no prior experience with philosophy will be assumed. Course Format: Because of COVID-19, this course will be entirely online. Its format will be a blend of pre-recorded (asynchronous) video lectures, and mandatory Zoom (synchronous) meetings. |

This course provides an introduction to some of the central issues in the philosophy of mind. Among other questions, we will ask whether it would be possible for machines, such as computers and robots, to think; what it is for you and I, in thinking, to represent objects and states of affairs in the world; and what the prospects are for the sciences to produce an adequate account of our mental lives. Although we will spend some time on computers and how they operate, we will also consider the possibility that the human brain or mind is already, in some sense, a kind of machine. |

This course will examine the nature of consciousness, mind, and the self, especially in relation to recent advances in science and technology. Traditional philosophical frameworks for understanding the relationship between consciousness, the mind, and the physical body and brain will be investigated. Attention will also be paid to recent developments in neuroscience, computational/digital technologies, and artificial intelligence, and how they challenge our understanding of consciousness and the mind. We will investigate the philosophical implications of these developments by examining various theoretical, social, and ethical questions—can (and should) a machine be programmed to be conscious, and how would we know if we succeeded? Can (and should) our consciousness be uploaded to a computer, and what does this mean for our relationship with our bodies? Can (and should) we have intimate relationships with artificial agents? The course will proceed through a combination of lecture and class discussion. Instructor: Chase Dority |

What is the mind, and what is its place in nature? To answer these questions, philosophers have variously characterized the mind as an immaterial entity, a program, a brain structure, and as embodied activity in the world. This course critically evaluates the strengths and limitations of these, and other, key philosophical approaches to theorizing the mind. Moreover, it explores how each of these theories influences both how we think about the possibility of artificial intelligence, and how we assess the prospects of a scientific explanation of conscious experience. |

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. |

BERRYMAN, SYLVIA |
Aristotle stands beside Plato as one of the dominant figures of ancient Greek philosophy and its legacy. His philosophical system offers new answers to problems of continuity through change; causation and the fundamental principles of the natural world; the nature of living beings; the soul, perceiving and thinking; and the goal of human life. In this course, we will approach Aristotle as a systematic thinker studying nature and human nature and with far-reaching ideas about how to live. |

In this course we pursue a careful study of the most influential figure of Medieval Philosophy, namely Augustine (354-430). We pursue a close reading of Augustine’s Confessions (the first autobiography in world literature), which provides meditations on a large number of topics, including God, the problem of evil, the meaning of life, free will, sexuality, the human mind, the afterlife, and the nature of time. |

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. |

This course will examine central themes in the philosophical systems of philosophers from the 18th century and beyond: John Locke, Catharine Cockburn, George Berkeley, David Hume, Thomas Reid, and Mary Shepherd. The issues taken up by these philosophers and their ways of grappling with them have helped to define modern conceptions of the world and of our place in it. For this reason, these philosophical systems continue to be important and influential in philosophy down to the present day. We will focus on the interpretation and evaluation of the arguments these philosophers offer in the areas of metaphysics and theory of knowledge. Among the particular topics to be discussed are: the nature of perception, idealism, skepticism about the external world, notions of causality and substance, self-knowledge, the problem of induction, and personal identity. |

This course is devoted to a focused study of one of the most important 19th Century philosophers: Friedrich Nietzsche. After his rise to fame in the 1890s, Nietzsche’s influence has been massive not only on Western philosophy but on Western culture more broadly. In this course we study some of Nietzsche’s central ideas as reflected in his core works, including the idea of the New Human (or Superman), Master Morality versus Slave Morality, the Western assault on God, and the rejection of traditional European-Christian morality, and the speeches and prophesies of Zarathustra. We also look at Nietzsche’s political thought as reflected in his late works The Anti-Christ and The Will to Power, and discuss some controversies surrounding these late writings. |

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. |

What makes a decision rational? In this course we will examine two different approaches to this question: decision theory and game theory. Decision theory is used to analyze the decision making of an individual under various degrees of ignorance about what factors will affect the outcomes of the agent's choices. Game theory is used to analyze decisions in which the outcomes of an agent's decision are determined in part by what other agents do. Decision and game theory are studied and used in a wide variety of areas, including economics, statistics, business, evolutionary biology, psychology, political science, mathematics, computer science and philosophy. Although we will have occasion to discuss examples from some of these areas, the primary emphasis will be on philosophical issues. This means that we will focus on the conceptual foundations of decision and game theory, with special attention given to certain puzzles (e.g., Newcomb's paradox and the Prisoner's Dilemma). We will also spend time thinking about the applications of these theories to various areas of philosophy, including social and ethical problems. |

Simply put, modal logic is the logic of necessity and possibility. Modal logic extends classical logic through the addition of the operators it is possible that and it is necessary that, allowing us to study the logical relationships between propositions containing these modalities. This course will be an introduction to modal logic. Topics will include the syntax and semantics of propositional and quanti_ed modal logic, as well as important metatheoretic results. Depending on time, we may also talk about non-normal modal logics and/or systems of epistemic, temporal, or deontic logic. Prerequisite: PHIL220. |

This course is about logics that alter or supplement classical logic (the standard propositional and predicate logics with which you are familiar from PHIL220). In particular, we will discuss modal logic, intuitionistic logic, relevant logic, many-valued logics, paraconsistent logic, and (hopefully) several others. Our focus will be on understanding the philosophical motivations for such systems while also considering the technical details of their proof theories and semantics. |

This course is an advanced introduction to the philosophy of language. In Unit 1, we will survey a number of major theories in the philosophy of language. These theories are attempts to answer some of the core questions in the philosophy of language, such as: What is the function of language? What gives the meaning of any particular word? What is it for a linguistic expression to have meaning? The purpose of Unit 1 is for you to get a solid grounding in many of the centrepieces of research in the philosophy of language. In Unit 2, we will read essays on topics that, in various ways, take us beyond the questions that occupied us in Unit 1. For example, we will look at a question about language in thought (‘What is the role of language in thought?’), a question about figurative speech (‘Do metaphors do something different in kind from literal utterances?’), some questions about linguistic diversity (‘Do linguistic universals exist?’, ‘What consequences does this have for theories of the nature of language?’), and a question about humour (‘What are the rules of the comedic roast?’). The purpose of Unit 2 is for you to get a good sense of the range of research that comprises and connects with the philosophy of language."

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). |

This course offers an introduction to some of the main themes and prominent authors in Western political philosophy and theory. As a result of this course, students should gain an appreciation for what philosophy can and cannot achieve in thinking about some of the fundamental concepts that underlie and guide much political discussion and debate, and how these arguments relate to some everyday issues in the world around us. |

This course will make a quick survey of the ancient and early-modern roots of Western political philosophy (including excerpts of writings by Hobbes, Locke, Rousseau, Marx, and Mill), after which its main focus will be on writings by notable scholars of the last 50 years, organized around a series of central topics, such as rights, liberty, justice, equality, and the treatment of minorities and groups. Along the way, we will take note of some of the broader political programs which offer systematic answers to the sorts of problems covered in this course. These include liberalism, libertarianism, republicanism, communism, communitarianism, and feminism. Contemporary thinkers will include writers such as Hayek, Rawls, Waldron, I. M. Young, C. Mills, E. Anderson, and A. Bilgrami. |

Contrary to popular belief, “profit maximization” is not the only thing that matters in business. Ethics also matter, and people are beginning to recognize this. Businesses involve other parties whose interests are at stake, e.g. employees, business collaborators, competitors, suppliers, local communities, and so on. Businesses nowadays cannot and should not ignore the interests of relevant stakeholders but should take them into consideration when making business decisions. This course encourages you to take a broader view of business. It aims to develop your ability to recognize and think about the interests of all relevant stakeholders, to solve business problems in light of their interests, and to make business decisions in ethically informed ways.
We will begin with a discussion of a few ethical theories and two theories of the nature of the firm. Knowledge of these theories will enable us to identify ethically relevant factors and make ethical evaluations/decisions when dealing with problems in business. We will then apply these theories to various topics such as deception in business, women in business, and treatment of employees.
We will also discuss plenty of case studies throughout the term and apply the theories that we have learnt to analyze and evaluate these cases. Most importantly, we will practice using these theories to take the interests of all relevant stakeholders into consideration when analyzing and making ethically informed decisions to solve the problems in these cases. |

Course Description: Health policy has a significant impact on different aspects of our lives: our well-being, our finances, our life goals, how we relate to ourselves and others, and so on. What makes health policies desirable? And how should we decide which health policy to adopt? This course approaches these questions from an ethical perspective. It aims to develop your ability to identify morally relevant factors and make ethical judgements on health care issues. It will begin with an overview of a few ethical theories as applied to various health care issues, and will then move on to in-depth discussions of drug legalization, euthanasia, and abortion. There will also be plenty of case study discussions throughout the term. These are great opportunities for you to apply what you learn to analyze problems. Learning Objectives: At the end of the course, successful students will be able to:

Instructor: Jordan Wadden Biomedical ethics is the study of ethical issues, applications, and implications that arise in medicine and healthcare. These dilemmas can occur in all areas of health such as in the course of providing care for a patient, in the relationship between medicine and the population, and in any research involving human participants. These moral questions arise from many perspectives, including the life sciences, philosophy, politics, law, theology, and technology. In part one we will trace the history and background of bioethics. You will learn how and why it became a field of study, what the main ethical theories used in practice are, and what the “Four Principles” refers to. Parts two, three, and four will be collaboratively chosen from a list of five topics encapsulating the main areas of current bioethical enquiry. This way we ensure this class holds to most value possible for each of you. This course assumes no prior knowledge in philosophy or medicine. |

Is euthanasia morally permissible? What is the relationship between patient autonomy, competence, and informed consent? When, if ever, is paternalism morally justified? Under what circumstances, if any, is abortion morally wrong? Is it morally permissible for women to obtain and for doctors to provide medically unnecessary Caesarean sections? Should doctors provide alternative, unproven therapies to their patients who request them? When, if ever, is two-tier health care just? What, in general, makes an act morally right or wrong, a person virtuous or vicious, a policy just or unjust? In this Distance Education section of Philosophy 333, we will explore answers to these questions from a variety of perspectives. We will, in short, critically examine some leading philosophical theories, and some important, and difficult, ethical issues in health care. Successful students in this course will learn a fair bit about normative ethical theories. They will also gain a critical grasp of some of the leading philosophical arguments on selected moral problems in health care. Students will develop their writing and critical reasoning skills. They will learn to think more carefully about arguments in general, so that they can develop and deepen their own arguments. |

Is euthanasia morally permissible? Under what conditions, if any, should euthanasia be legal? What is the relationship between patient autonomy, competence, and informed consent? When, if ever, is paternalism morally justified? Under what circumstances, if any, is abortion morally wrong? Is it morally permissible for women to obtain and for doctors to provide medically unnecessary Caesarean sections? Should doctors provide alternative, unproven therapies to their patients who request them? When, if ever, is two-tier health care just? What, in general, makes an act morally right or wrong, a person virtuous or vicious, a policy just or unjust? In Philosophy 333, we will explore answers to these questions from a variety of perspectives. We will, in short, critically examine some leading philosophical theories, and some important, and difficult, ethical issues in health care. |

This course will provide an introduction to feminist perspectives on gender and sex. Examples of topics we will investigate are: gender, sexual objectification, heteronormativity, and sexual preferences. COVID-19 notice: While most of this course can be completed asynchronously, those who can attend the lecture/discussion portion of the course are strongly encouraged to do so. We will be engaging with complex readings and difficult course material; discussing them collectively is the best way to learn from them. |

This course examines the philosophy of sex and gender in three steps. It first looks at how the human subject in the history of philosophy is sexed and privileged as male. It then examines the metaphysics of gender, questioning both essentialist and constructionist versions of gender ontology. Lastly, it pursues the question of intersectionality and its relationship with sex and gender. This is a lecture style course with class discussion. |

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. |

We will investigate some of the main philosophical problems that arise in connection with law in general and with the legal system of Canada in particular. These problems range from relatively practical questions such as the distinction between intent and knowledge in criminal law and the scope of freedom of expression in a free society to more theoretical questions such as the essential nature of law and the general relationship between a free society and democratic rule. |

We live in a society where the rule of law is taken for granted. We think that we should respect the legal system, obey the law, and be punished if we violate any law. But what is law? What makes a law a law and what distinguishes it from other rules such as etiquette? What is the rule of law and why is it valuable? What, if any, are the limits of freedom of expression? This course aims to explore these issues and demonstrate their relevance to our lives. |

Metaphysics is the study of reality in the broadest possible sense. This first course will cover major metaphysical themes, such as time, causation, agency, and persistence. Specific topics are likely to include personal identity, the possibility of time travel, and the nature of numbers. We may also cover some applications outside metaphysics (e.g. implications of work on causation for legal and moral responsibility). We shall read work by, amongst others: Elizabeth Anscombe, J. M. E. McTaggart, Michael Ayers, Sara Bernstein, David Lewis, Sydney Shoemaker, Fatema Amijee, P. F. Strawson, and David Hume. |

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. |

This course introduces key texts and ideas from major European philosophers from the 18th century onward with a focus on the relationship between power, knowledge, and freedom. The discussion commences with Kant's analysis on what it means to think for oneself, and follows with texts by Marx, Nietzsche, and Freud on alienation, power, and desire. It moves on to look at writings by Heidegger on technology, Arendt on totalitarianism, Fanon on decolonization, Butler on heterosexism, and Foucault on enlightenment and humanism. In doing so, it provides an important foundation for understanding the tradition and legacy of continental philosophy. |

In this course we will be thinking philosophically about some recent research on a wide variety of topics relating to interactions between minds, languages, and computations. The topics will include the role of computational models in theoretical linguistics, the ethical issues associated with the use of Machine Learning in healthcare and legal settings, the social influence of new media, and the question of whether any recent discoveries in the sciences of the mind compromise our common sense understanding of ourselves as free and conscious. After a couple of weeks focussing on classic readings from the twentieth century, the readings will be drawn from the recent research literature. The course will meet in person three times a week. Assessment will be via three written assignments (worth 10%, 20% and 30% of your grade) and a final exam (worth 40%). |

What is science? There is no single answer, but to begin to understand it as a human practice, a body of knowledge, or an instrument for change, we will read some of the key classics in the history of science and apply these to grapple with philosophical questions on the methods and scope of science. We will first read brief selections by the leading natural philosophers who forged modern science (Matthews anthology), then read overviews of science in the eighteenth century (Hankins) and the nineteenth century (Snyder), followed by chapters from Darwin’s groundbreaking book, On the Origin of Species (1859). We will finish with Kuhn’s challenge to the belief in continuous scientific progress. |

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 is designed to give students a thorough introduction to early (pre 221 BCE) Chinesethought, its contemporary implications, and the role of philosophy and religion in human flourishing.This period of Chinese history witnessed the formation of all of the major indigenous schools ofChinese thought (Confucianism, Daoism, Mohism and Legalism), which in turn had an impact on thedevelopment of East Asian cultural history that is still felt today. Students will be exposed to both received texts and recently discovered archeological texts; this combination of sources will both enrichstudents’ understanding of the world of thought in early China and call into question the boundariesdrawn between the traditionally-defined “schools” such as Daoism or Confucianism.Important themes to be discussed include the ideal of wu-wei or “effortless action,” the paradox of howone can consciously try not to try, models of the self and self-cultivation, rationality versus emotions,trust and human cooperation, and the structure and impact of different spiritual and political ideals. Wewill also explore parallels with Western philosophical and religious traditions, the relevance of earlyChinese thought for contemporary debates in ethics, moral education, and political philosophy, and themanner in which early Chinese models of the self anticipate recent developments in the evolutionaryand cognitive sciences. |
