PHIL 399 Topics in Philosophy Critical Thinking 3 credits
Versus the New Age Movement
Grade Method: REG/P-F/AUD Beginning in the
1980's, there has been an increase of
popular belief in claims that are not
accepted by mainstream science. This
course examines ways in which critical
thinking principles and skills may be
applied to various claims of the New Age
Movement and occult or supernatural
beliefs. The student will learn how to
analyze arguments, evaluate evidence,
recognize fallacies, distinguish science
from pseudoscience, and apply critical
thinking to various New Age, supernatural
or occult beliefs, such as channeling,
healing crystals, biorhythms, astrology,
creationism, dowsing, and demonic
possession. The influence of media
misinformation, psychological tendencies,
and public gullibility in fostering
popular beliefs in ideas which lack
acceptance will also be examined.

PHIL 472 Advanced Topics in the Philosophy of 3 credits
Science Reconstructing the Past
Grade Method: REG/P-F/AUD This course will
consider how we gain knowledge of the
past. Historians reconstruct human
history; biologists reconstruct
evolutionary history. How do they do so,
and why are the methods of historians so
different from those of biologist? The
first half of the course will address the
difficulties faced by evolutionary
biologists, the second half will consider
how the historian's task differs from the
biologist's. Humans are not only complex
creatures, but their actions are
meaningful. The second half of the course
will focus on how these facts about humans
affect how historians study them. The
course does not require a background in
biology.
