Though the primary aim of this course is to study Indian philosophy in its own terms, a secondary aim is to examine some ways in which Western thinkers have viewed Indian philosophy through lenses that have distorted its nature and value.

Money shapes who holds power, who gets opportunity, and what kind of society we build. This course asks whether any of it is just. Is extreme wealth a personal achievement or a social failure? Do the ultra-rich have moral obligations — and does it matter whether they give the money away? When markets create winners and losers, who bears responsibility for the outcome? Is capitalism a system we've chosen, or one we've simply inherited? Drawing on philosophers, economists, and ethicists — alongside case studies in corporate behavior, philanthropy, and policy — students will build a rigorous framework for treating money not just as an economic fact, but as a moral one. Prerequisite: PHIL 110. Ideal for students in Philosophy, Economics, Business, Finance, Political Science, and Public Policy.

An in-depth philosophical examination of conceptual, moral, cultural, and legal issues surrounding regulating, watching, and participating in sports. Possible topics include: the definition of sport; the nature of competition; sportsmanship; being a fan; performance-enhancing drugs; gender; race; and the relationships among athletics, moral education, the law, and social responsibility in high school, collegiate, and professional sports. The course integrates various disciplinary perspectives on the nature and practice of sport, and special attention is given to reflection on these topics from within Catholic intellectual tradition.

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

A philosophical examination into the origin, nature, purpose, and legitimacy of government and law, especially as these relate to the good of individuals and the common good. Possible questions include: Are human beings by nature political animals? What justifies political and legal authority? What sorts of political regimes can be just and legitimate? Is there a best type of government? Are there universal human rights and, if so, where do they come from? What are the respective roles of legislator, executive, and judge? Can civil disobedience ever be justified? Can violent revolution? Should government and law take stands on questions of morality, religion, and the meaning of life or try to remain neutral in these matters? The course will consider both classical and contemporary reflection on such topics, including from authors within Catholic intellectual tradition in conversation with other traditions and perspectives.

This course is a philosophical examination of the ethical challenges posed by artificial intelligence, including among other issues the introduction of bias into AI models. The course explores perspectives on AI ethics, such as consequentialist approaches that emphasize long-term impacts and virtue ethics approaches that emphasize AI's influence on human character and flourishing. Goals include analyzing these ethical frameworks as both arguments and cultural movements, drawing connections to the Catholic intellectual tradition, and applying them to real-world issues.

This course is devoted to philosophical trends since the late 19th century (roughly, 1850- present). We’ll spend the first half of the semester studying three European “philosophers of suspicion,” Freud, Marx, and Nietzsche. In the second half of the semester we’ll then focus on the movement known as analytic philosophy, examining the contributions of recent analytic philosophers to areas such as philosophy of language, epistemology, philosophy of mind, and the free will debate. Prerequisite: PHIL 220.

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.
