What do laws contribute to a just society? And since Plato is famous for stating that most works of poetry, tragedy, and comedy are incompatible with a just society, this course will also analyze Plato’s theory of art and its links to justice.

What do laws contribute to a just society? And since Plato is famous for stating that most works of poetry, tragedy, and comedy are incompatible with a just society, this course will also analyze Plato’s theory of art and its links to justice.

  This philosophy course is an introduction to the Theories of Justice based on Plato’s Republic. It will consider the complex concept of justice by analyzing how Plato attempted to provide a unified theory of justice in The Republic and how subsequent philosophers responded to his proposals. Some of the questions we will be considering are: What are the competing theories of justice and is a unified theory of justice possible? Is justice a virtue of individuals or of society, or of both? What do laws contribute to a just society? And since Plato is famous for stating that most works of poetry, tragedy, and comedy are incompatible with a just society, this course will also analyze Plato’s theory of art and its links to justice.

What exactly is technology, and how can we ensure that it is developed in line with what is best for us? This course explores questions like these by philosophically analyzing human nature, intelligence, and well-being in relation to technology. Students will employ concepts, methods and theories from a variety of philosophical perspectives and will exit the course with a deepened understanding of philosophy and a stronger ability to think critically about important issues technology poses for contemporary society

  This course will survey central philosophical questions and how influential philosophers have attempted to answer them. Major topics such as the nature of reality, truth, knowledge, justice, personal identity, freedom, responsibility, and meaning will be covered. In a broad sense, this course explores the human condition, and the ways we humans have tried to understand and define ourselves, our world and our possibilities. As this is an introductory course, students will also learn and practice the philosophical fundamentals of sound argumentation. By the end of the course, students will have an understanding of the basic problems of philosophy and their development. They will also have a sense of philosophy’s relevance and importance for the social sciences, the natural sciences, and contemporary issues.

• 330-0B1-DW: Observation in History
  History is replete with examples of great movements that have triumphed and/or failed. How do these moments in history compare? What lessons do they have to offer? What defines a successful or failed movement? Through the reading of primary and secondary sources, as well as the use of knowledge, methodologies, and concepts learnt in history courses or drawn from other social science disciplines, students will produce an observation project on a specific historical movement marked by failures or triumphs. Topics include, but are not limited to, the civil rights movement, independence movements in India, Ireland, Catalonia, or South Sudan, feminist movements, the Arab Spring, the Bolshevik Revolution, the anti-nuclear movement, Pan-Africanism, the #MeToo movement, and Land Back movements in Canada. In addition to analyzing the human realities observed in one or more of these historical movements, students may also participate in cultural visits or other immersive experiences.
