BASIC PROBLEMS IN PHILOSOPHY 10:00–11:20 a .m . Daily . 1st session . Credit, 4 hrs . Homan This course will focus on the question of the self. Philosophy encourages us to “know thyself,” yet it remains unclear how to understand what a self is. What does it mean to have a self? How do we know what a self is? Is it possible to know one’s self? What is the relationship between the self and life? What is the relationship between the self and identity? What is the relationship between the self and others? Do only humans have a self? In the first half of the course, we will address these questions by reading texts in the history of philosophy, including writings from Plato, René Descartes, David Hume, Friedrich Nietzsche, and Jean-Paul Sartre. In the second half of the course, we will turn to more contemporary texts that challenge traditional considerations of the self. Such texts will come from the areas of feminism, race theory, disability studies, and philosophy of animals. 110-00A. INTRODUCTION TO LOGIC 11:30 a .m .–12:50 p .m . Daily . 1st session . Credit, 4 hrs . Longtin In everyday conversations we speak and think using logical principles and forms. Logic is implicit in the way we understand and communicate. Accordingly, studying logic gives us the ability to make these implicit rules and structures explicit, so that we can evaluate arguments and develop our own valid reasoning. In this course, we will spend time on both informal and formal logic. Informal logic is important for understanding how to read critically and develop valid arguments. Formal logic builds on informal logic by allowing us to understand the nature of argumentation in terms of rules and formal structures. Students will learn how to identify different types of logical arguments and fallacies, translate everyday language into logic, and work with propositional and predicate logic.
