[Core] Diversity/Soc Just AND [Core] Integ/Humanities
This course is a comprehensive introduction to the most pressing issues and questions concerning disability. Students will encounter and critically evaluate longstanding stereotypes and biases about the disadvantages of disability. This course examines disability primarily from a philosophical perspective, yet readings from other disciplines will also be used throughout the course. Some of the central questions examined in the course include: What is disability? Is disability merely a medical condition? In what ways do societal barriers disable? How does economic class impact access to educational, medical and social resources? Does disability itself make a person worse off or is it only social stigmatization and lack of accommodation that makes the lives of those with disabilities worse? How have those with disabilities been disadvantaged in the US? What is the basis for human dignity? What conceptual frameworks allow us to uphold the dignity of those with severe disabilities? Which behaviors and assumptions threaten the equality and dignity of those with disabilities? Prerequisite: PHIL 110.

This course is a comprehensive introduction to the most pressing issues and questions concerning disability. Students will encounter and critically evaluate longstanding stereotypes and biases about the disadvantages of disability. This course examines disability primarily from a philosophical perspective, yet readings from other disciplines will also be used throughout the course. Some of the central questions examined in the course include: What is disability? Is disability merely a medical condition? In what ways do societal barriers disable? How does economic class impact access to educational, medical and social resources? Does disability itself make a person worse off or is it only social stigmatization and lack of accommodation that makes the lives of those with disabilities worse? How have those with disabilities been disadvantaged in the US? What is the basis for human dignity? What conceptual frameworks allow us to uphold the dignity of those with severe disabilities? Which behaviors and assumptions threaten the equality and dignity of those with disabilities? Prerequisite: PHIL 110.

Action to achieve social justice depends, ultimately, on an understanding of what social justice is. What makes a society just? How is a just society ordered? What does social justice look like up close? If our society is not currently just, how may we justly make it so? This course considers competing (though sometimes overlapping) accounts of social justice that are of continuing relevance today, such as those found in the traditions of classical liberalism, socialism, Catholicism, and critical theory. One goal is to understand where such accounts agree, where they disagree, and why. Another goal is to appreciate how such traditions have animated and continue to animate the pursuit of justice, especially for marginalized persons in the United States. Prerequisite: PHIL 110.

Many religions, including Christianity, ask people to have faith that God exists and has acted in human history. Yet it often seems more reasonable to doubt that religious claims are true. In this course, we will consider whether it can be reasonable to have faith in religious claims and how doubt can help a person come to a more mature faith. The course will be divided into two parts, each of which will address a source of religious doubt. In the first part, we will discuss the relation between faith, doubt, and science. In light of modern scientific findings (especially the theory of evolution), can it be reasonable to believe that God exists, created the world, and has intervened in history? In the second part, we will discuss the relation between faith, doubt, and suffering. In the face of widespread horrendous suffering and moral evil, can it be reasonable to believe that a good God exists and cares for human beings? Special attention will be paid to the suffering that results from the experience of finding the world to be ultimately meaningless. Prerequisite: PHIL 110.

Who (or what) is worthy of our moral consideration? Should we care about the well-being of animals? Plants? Species? Ecosystems? If so, what should we do about it? Should we be willing to sacrifice human interests for the sake of the interests of other beings? What habits will we have to give up—or take on—to be responsible stewards of the environment? The course will examine environmental ethics as an emerging field in conversation with historical perspectives in ethics, including the Catholic intellectual tradition. Prerequisite: PHIL 110.

Everybody dies, but not everybody dies well. Why not? And what does it mean to die well? Co-taught by a philosopher and a social worker, this class will explore these questions from philosophical and practical perspectives, with special attention to the dynamics that shape end-of-life experiences in the US. Students will engage materials examining end-of-life experiences in the US through philosophical, spiritual, professional, medical, and policy lenses, including academic scholarship, literature, and popular culture. In addition, students will have the opportunity to discuss these issues with professionals from various disciplines who work in the field of death and dying. This course aims to challenge and equip students to develop concrete, realistic, just, and thoughtful perspectives on end of life. (Co-taught with Dr. Melissa Lundquist from the School of Social Work. (Cross listed with SOWK 295.))

The highest branch of philosophy, and the branch of philosophy that most helps us reach our natural end as human persons, is natural theology or philosophy of God. Natural theology is the project of arguing for the existence of God, and uncovering as much as possible about God’s nature, without relying on any putative supernatural revelation – instead relying on natural reason alone. In this course we will take a deep dive into the natural theology of St. Thomas Aquinas, by engaging in a close reading of Book 1 of his Summa contra Gentiles. Prerequisites: PHIL 365 and at least 80 credits completed by the start of the course.

Why study medieval philosophy? Three reasons. First, the parochial complacency of medieval Europe was shattered by the exotic ideas of returning Crusaders and by the rediscovery of ancient arguments due to the influx of texts newly translated into medieval Latin. The result: intellectual life was unmoored and everything seemed uncertain---even Christianity. Questions about having a soul, being immortal, the reliability of religious belief, the goodness of marriage, the morality of private property, the existence of God as Creator, and even the possibility of certitude were burning questions affecting how people lived and died. These questions and the medieval answers are still relevant today. Second, Thomas Aquinas, the great synthesizer, argued that these questions had answers by utilizing the insights of his Greco-Latin, Muslim and Jewish predecessors. Third, the philosophical principles used by those medieval scholars who opposed Aquinas provided the vectors for the development of modern philosophy and the European Enlightenment. In sum: seeing the medieval clash of key arguments in action is both illuminating and helpful in understanding not only basic philosophical issues but also our own world. Prerequisite: PHIL 110.

An inquiry into the foundations and methods of moral philosophy. The course focuses on such questions as: Is moral knowledge possible? What is the good life for human beings? Are there objective moral truths? What makes an action right or wrong? Are some types of action always wrong? How does one become a good person? How does morality relate to God? What is morality’s relation to happiness? Special attention will be given to the Aristotelian-Thomistic tradition in conversation with other approaches such as Kantianism, Consequentialism, and Relativism. Prerequisite: PHIL 110.

Natural philosophy considers the fundamental principles of material and changing things. Metaphysics studies the fundamental principles, attributes, and categories of existing things, as such. These branches of philosophy study the foundations of all the rest, and of much of theology and natural science, as well. Topics to be treated include the nature of change and persistence through change, substance and accident, matter and form, parts and wholes, causality, essence and existence, universals and particulars, necessity and possibility, and transcendental attributes of being.
