Logic is the study of the most basic property of information: that you can put two pieces of information together to make a new piece of information. This process is called inference, and it is at the heart of what it means to be a thinker. In logic, we study inference by trying to give precise rules for what makes a good inference. In this course you will learn principles of inference that will be useful to you in any activity that requires careful thought. You will also improve your ability to make and evaluate arguments, and you will gain a greater understanding of precision in language.

Almost everyone will agree that we have minds and we have bodies. Whats less clear is exactly how our minds and bodies are related. Is there really just one thing with two ways of describing it? Or are there two very different things that may or may not interact with each other? In the first part of the course we will look at a range of answers to questions concerning the relation between mind and body and consider their strengths and weaknesses. One important activity involving both mind and body is the use of the senses to find out about the world around us. In the second part of the course we will be focused on questions concerning the individual senses from both a scientific and a philosophical perspective.

Almost everyone will agree that we have minds and we have bodies. Whats less clear is exactly how our minds and bodies are related. Is there really just one thing with two ways of describing it? Or are there two very different things that may or may not interact with each other? In the first part of the course we will look at a range of answers to questions concerning the relation between mind and body and consider their strengths and weaknesses. One important activity involving both mind and body is the use of the senses to find out about the world around us.

Writing philosophy papers (and anything else) can be enjoyable if you know what you are doing. This course, designed for philosophy majors, focuses on the activity of writingpresenting ideas clearlyrather than the surface mechanics of grammar and paragraph construction. It is writing intensive, with almost weekly writing assignments. Students will be expected to write a new philosophy paper that explores ideas from work in one of their previous courses, and so this course is best taken AFTER you have already completed a 200-level non-logic philosophy class where you have written a paper that is more than a couple of pages long.

Computing technologies like artificial intelligence (AI) have become a central element of our lives, shaping us and our society in ways both subtle and profound. In this course, students will learn to identify and critically reason through the ethical challenges that arise in the design, development, and deployment of AI and other data-driven technologies. Topics may include large language models, facial recognition technology, predictive policing tools, AI-generated art, deepfakes, autonomous vehicles, dating apps, social media algorithms, autonomous weapons, and emotion recognition technology. Throughout the course, we will examine how the sociotechnical details of a particular case study might inform our thinking about a range of morally salient concepts, including justice, oppression, autonomy, responsibility, and privacy.

3 hours Science & the Laws of Nature Science and the Laws of Nature Philosophy of science analyzes the nature of the scientific enterprise: what are the processes of reasoning and the practices that explain its success in producing knowledge of the natural world? Central to this analysis is the concept of a law of nature: doesnt science discover what the laws of nature are? Dont these laws allow us to predict and explain? But what, exactly, are the characteristics of a law? We will address answers that philosophers have given to these questions through study of the laws of a particular science, physics (although no background in physics is presupposed), and their implications for the nature of space and time.
