PL 222 Self and the City: A Personal Response (Spring: 3)
Prerequisite: Philosophy Core Fulfilled
Cross Listed with EN 422
This PULSE elective, which requires a PULSE placement, will explore the choices
available to the Self in response to the world. Through biographies, essays,
poems, and oral history, we will examine the question of personal calling:
service/activism; creativity/image making, and healing/sanctuary. Through
discussion, journal and other writings, students will gather the elements
of their own spiritual awareness, education, and experience, attempting to
discover an ethics of the responsible self.

PL 294 Culture and Social Structures II: Philosophy of PULSE (Spring:

Structures I, with the focus on American culture in particular and on more
specifically contemporary issues.

PL 408 Nineteenth and Twentieth Century Philosophy (Spring: 3)
This course will begin with an examination of revolutionary themes from nineteenth
century philosophy: Hegel's reason in history, Kierkegaard's paradox of subjectivity,
Nietzsche's critique of modernity as nihilism, and Frege's transformation
of logic. A study of key texts by these thinkers will set the stage for an
understanding of major movements in twentieth century philosophy: phenomenology,
existentialism, and analytic philosophy. Readings will be selected from such
authors as Husserl, Sartre, Wittgenstein, Quine, McDowell, and Oakeschott.

PL 443 Political Philosophy: Montesquieu to Mill (Spring: 3)
This course examines the thought of some of the major political philosophers
from the mid-eighteenth to the late nineteenth century. Stress is on the reading,
analysis, and discussion of primary texts and the relation of these thinkers
both to the earlier tradition and to the contemporary period. Fundamental
questions such as the relationship of political philosophy to basic epistemological
and ethical questions, the foundations of authority in society, and how political
philosophy is affected by cultural changes are given special emphasis.

PL 453 Gandhi, Satyagraha, and Society (Spring: 3)
Satisfies Cultural Diversity Core Requirement
Well known as a freedom fighter for India's independence, Gandhi's deep concern
regarding the impact of industrialization and injustice on the social fabric
is not as well known. His analysis of the effects of technological civilization
on society was not provincial (limited to what is sometimes called the third
world) but universal. We will examine Gandhian thought through his own writings
and explicate their relevance to the contemporary society, and examine selections
from classical and contemporary literature on the philosophy and ethics, which
will help us understand Gandhi's integrated vision of the citizen as a reflective
and active individual.
Pramod Thaker, M.D.

PL 497 Parmenides and the Buddha (Spring: 3)
Parmenides lived during a time when momentous yet similar changes were taking
place--or being resisted--in civilizations as distant as Greece and China,
and as diverse as Israel and India. What relation did his teaching that Being
is One have in the resulting divisions within human consciousness? Was his
teaching a logical miscalculation? Or is it a mystical insight? Arguably,
Parmenides' message is especially relevant to our own time when the claims
Rationalism and the allure of technology are gradually eroding our appreciation
of, and access to, the mysterious realms of myth and religion.

PL 507 Marx and Nietzsche (Spring: 3)
Through a reading of Marx and Nietzsche's basic writings, we will examine
two of the most innovative programs for philosophy in the nineteenth century.
Both considered themselves beyond the tradition from which they came and yet
both were shaped by that very tradition. We will be particularly interested
in examining their respective notions of critique as well as the way they
addressed the relationship between philosophy and life.

PL 526 Introduction to Feminist Philosophies (Spring: 3)
This course will explore several major approaches to feminist thinking. We
will begin with liberal feminist thought and then examine some Marxist/socialist,
radical, multicultural, as well as "conservative" critiques of liberal
feminism. Throughout the course, the aim will be both to examine specific
claims about gender and society as well as the ways in which these feminist
philosophies are either explicitly or implicitly connected to larger claims
about human nature and the good.

PL 541 Philosophy of Health Science: East and West (Spring: 3)
Satisfies Cultural Diversity Core Requirement
This course will explore the underlying ethical suppositions of health care
practice. Starting from concrete clinical problems such as the care of the
elderly and the influence of technology, the course will attempt to draw out
the philosophical assumptions of health care practice and show the necessity
of an appropriate philosophical perspective in the resolution of day-to-day
ethical dilemmas in health care. A close examination of medical practice,
from Hippocratic regimen to high-tech medicine, will be undertaken. As a counterpoint,
another ancient medical tradition, from India of about 500 B.C., will be studied.

PL 545 Philosophy of Physics: An Introduction to Its Themes (Spring:
3)
Physics explores fundamental physical reality in ways that have deep and remarkable
philosophical implications for the ways we conceptualize and come to know
the world. This course will introduce major themes of contemporary philosophy
of physics such as the nature of space and time as revealed by relativity
theories and measurement, locality, and objectivity as revealed by quantum
theory. The new studies of chaos theory and complexity will also be considered.
The course is intended to be accessible without technical knowledge of physical
theories, although a prior course in physics or mathematics will be helpful
Ronald Anderson, S.J.

PL 554 Philosophy of Poetry and Music (Spring: 3)
The purpose of this course is to provide an introduction into the world of
painting, music, architecture and the dance. Some familiarity with literature
will be presumed. After an initial exploration of these artistic worlds, participants
will be encouraged to examine their experience in a more philosophical manner,
trying to appropriate in a personal way the deeper significance and meaning
of art. The influence of art in the formation of culture will be a subsidiary
theme. Also, special attention will be given to the ways that the various
art forms interrelate and support one another.
Joseph F. Flanagan, S.J.

PL 566 Analytic Philosophy (Spring: 3)
Some twentieth-century philosophizing in Britain and America can be characterized
by the following features: the careful effort to uncover logical and philosophical
suppositions concealed beneath the superficial structure of statements in
ordinary uses of language, pursuit of clarity in the treatment of genuine
philosophical issues, and a deep respect for the achievements of natural science.
The course will treat analytic philosophy in its historical development and
assess its strength and weaknesses as a method in philosophy.

PL 577 Symbolic Logic: An Introduction to Its Methods and Meaning
(Fall/Spring: 3)
Introduction to the powerful ways the logical forms woven into deductive reasoning
and language can be analyzed using abstract symbolic structures. The study
of these structures is not only relevant for understanding effective reasoning
but also for exploring the Anglo-American analytic philosophical tradition
and foundations of mathematics, computer science, and linguistics. Philosophically
interesting properties about logical systems will be explored, including the
task of proving whether a logical system is complete and consistent. A number
of interesting topics of twentieth century logic will be briefly considered
such as set theory, Russell's paradox and Goedel's theorems.
Ronald Anderson, S.J.

PL 594 Foundations of Ethics (Spring: 3)
Ethical living has been a challenge for humanity since the beginnings of recorded
history. Indeed, the problem of ethical thought and living has always been
a central concern of philosophical reflection, especially in the West. In
the late twentieth century, however, the problem of ethics has reached a state
of crisis, as increasingly people have come to suspect that no normative basis
for ethics can be found. This course will examine attempts to find foundations
for ethics and look at these attempts in relation to antifoundationalist critiques.
Patrick H. Byrne
Last Updated: 5/14/2003
PL 650 Philosophy of Being II (Spring: 3)
This course is a continuation of PL 649, Philosophy of Being I. It will go
into questions of how being is communicated in the universe on the level of
history as well as nature and will ultimately deal with the question of a
totally transcendent Being that cannot be thought of in any way as part of
the universe of beings in which we find ourselves.

PL 719 Aquinas on Virtue and Law (Spring: 3)
Ethics has become once again a central concern for the understanding of human
life. Before After Virtue there was Virtue. Before "Legitimation Theory"
there has to be Law. This course will study Aquinas' systematic approach to
ethics in the framework of the Summa Theologiae. After a discussion of the
structure of the Summa, it will focus on the concepts of "Virtue and
Law" in Part II.1 and on the "Particular Virtues" as elaborated
in Part II.2.
Oliva Blanchette

PL 720 Platonic Theories of Knowledge (Spring: 3)
The purpose of this course will be twofold: to explore Platonic considerations
of perception and memory in the Theaetetus and dialectic in the Sophist; and
to investigate what Plotinus does with this Platonic inheritance in his major
study of the soul and its way of knowing. Both philosophers show the intersection
of perception and intellectual knowledge in a way that is essential for understanding
the Platonic project as a whole and especially the possibilities and limits
of human knowledge.

PL 746 Rawls' Political Philosophy (Spring: 3)
Prerequisite: Familiarity with the Works of John Rawls
The year 2002 was marked by the death of John Rawls, who was often referred
to as the most important political philosopher of the twentieth century. oward
the end of his life, Rawls worked very hard to complete his work publishing
a series of books including The Law of Peoples, Justice as Fairness Revisited,
Lectures on Moral Philosophy and his Collected Papers. His famous Theory of
Justice and Political Liberalism complete the Rawlsian corpus. The most significant
issue for this course will be the relationship of the early Theory of Justice
to the later Political Liberalism.

PL 762 Soren Kierkegaard (Spring: 3)
This course will deal primarily with the early pseudonymous writings of Soren
Kierkegaard. The following topics will be emphasized: (1) the function of
irony and indirect communication in the pseudonymous works, (2) Kierkegaard's
conception of freedom and subjectivity, and (3) the nature of the relationship
which Kierkegaard posits between reason, autonomy, and faith.

PL 765 Machiavelli and Hobbes (Spring: 3)
Machiavelli and Hobbes are the principal architects of the political form
of modernity, the "universal and homogeneous state" (Kojève).
This course explores the relationship between their political and moral philosophies.
Emphasis will be placed on the following themes: the critique of altruism,
war as a natural condition, a revolutionary account of reason and the passions.
