PHIL.4001 Special Topics in Philosophy

Id: 042436 Credits: 3-3

Description

Special Topics in Philosophy runs once every three semesters, which means each major has a chance to take the course twice in their career at UML. In this course, faculty will present a version of a senior course in philosophy that would be more common in a large philosophy program with sufficient majors to maintain a full curriculum of intermediate and upper-level courses without nonmajors fulling out enrolment. These courses come in a variety of formats: they may be deep dives into single works or collections of work by famous philosophers; "research-led teaching" in which students work with an instructor on a current book project, reading draft chapters and other works to critique the project and make it better; or guided group studies into focal topics in the philosophical canon. The course will rotate instructors, so that no tow versions of this course are the same, but always provide a novel and high-quality experience for a major.

Prerequisites

Philosophy Majors only.
