Senior Research Seminar |
This is the capstone seminar for Humanities majors. As a "capstone" course, it serves as a culmination of the Humanities undergraduate program, and is intended to enable students to draw on methods, skills and ideas from their entire undergraduate career. As a "seminar", it is intended to be participatory. Students will be expected to lead discussions on texts and topics in the course. We will be using a central theme, that of meaningful space, to consider the ways in which the humanities can be used to understand and work within central issues of our time. |

Honors Intro to Philosophy |
This is an introduction to the activity of philosophizing. We shall be reading and discussing some of the most profound philosophers in the western tradition, whose writings will lead us to raise fundamental questions and attempt to answer them through thinking, discussing, and writing. Such questions include: What is the good life? How should I live? What do I know? How do I know that God exists? Why does evil exist? Am I free to choose what I do? Through exploring such questions as they arise, students will be provided with an introduction to the general areas of philosophy and will also be given a general orientation into the history of philosophy. |

Minds & Machine: Phil Cog Sci |
An interdisciplinary examination, from a philosophical perspective, of research into the nature of human, animal, and (arguably) machine cognitive systems. 
Cognitive Science is the interdisciplinary study of topics and questions at the intersections of several disciplines, including artificial intelligence, robotics, neuroscience, psychology, linguistics, animal cognition, artificial life, anthropology, education, evolutionary biology, and philosophy.
The course takes a philosophical perspective, engaging in critical investigation of the assumptions that underlie research in the cognitive sciences, and of the issues and problems that arise for such research. We begin with the origins of cognitive science in the thesis that the brain is an information processor, operating computationally on represented information.
Then we look at the thesis that the brain evolved to be a controller of intelligent embodied action that is embedded in networks of interactivity between brain body and world.
A core question of the course is the extent to which this embodied, embedded, enactive vision of mind forces a revision or rejection of the concepts of computation, representation, and information that once were considered constitutive of cognition. Can cognition be constitutively both embodied and representational? Can it be essentially both embedded and computational?

Topics in Philosophy of Mind |
Extended Cognition.
Clark and Chalmers’ (1998) seminal paper “The Extended Mind”, kicked off a heated debate about the boundaries of cognition, arguing that in some cases external equipment that we think with (e.g. pen and paper, iPhone) can reasonably be considered part of one’s mind. 
In this course we will explore the debate over this hypothesis that cognition is constituted by systems that extend through and beyond the individual person and their brain.
Many of the critiques and defenses will be from Richard Menary’s recent edited collection The Extended Mind.
After exploring the core debates regarding this thesis, we will then examine two possible corollaries of this hypothesis.
(1) The hypothesis of socially extended minds: this is the thesis that many of our cognitive activities are socially constituted, by the social institutions and practices that structure and scaffold our cognitive activities.
(2) Extended agency and personal responsibility. If in some sense the agent of an action can include entities beyond an individual person --including their equipment, environment, or even other people with whom they act collectively-- then what can we say about the notion of personal responsibility for such actions?
Can cognitive extension help us better identify problems with holding individuals responsible for actions caused also by external factors? Does the role of such factors in action open a new range of excuses?

Environmental Philosophy |
A philosophical examination of issues and questions related to the relationships between humans and our environments. In contrast to a course in environmental ethics, this course moves beyond ethical issues into also examining ontological and political aspects of the relationships between humans and our environments.
These topics include:
What kinds of entities deserve moral consideration? On what grounds do they deserve such consideration?
What does it mean for an entity to merit moral consideration?
What connections are there between human exploitation of our environment, and human exploitation of other humans?
What can environmental phenomenology reveal about the multiple facets of human relationships with our natural environments?
What can political theory, economics, and social philosophy contribute to an understanding of current ecological problems and our responses to them?
