jokes in both print and visual mediums in
order to see how well the discussed
theories apply. Readings will come from a
selection of articles with other material
being provided throughout the semester in
the form of handouts. PREREQUISITE: One
course in philosophy or permission of

PHIL 452 Advanced Topics in Ethics Moral Psychology 3 credits
Grade Method: REG/P-F/AUD The question at
the core of this seminar all concern, in
one way or another,what it is to lead a
morally decent human life. We will think
about the challenges involved both in
deliberating about the right action and in
acting in morally appropriate ways.
Sometimes, it is clear to us what we
morally ought to do, yet we seem to lack
the motivation to perform the relevant
actions. On the other occasions, we are
strongly motivated to perform an action,
but we are unsure about whether that
action is morally justified. Along the
way, we will consider the role of the
emotions in moral judgement, what it is to
take responsibility for one's life and
character, the role of practices like
forgiveness and reconciliation in human
life, how our mortality is connected to
our agency. PREREQUISITES: 2 courses in
Philosophy or permission of instructor.

PHIL 472 Advanced Topics in the Philosophy of 3 credits
Science Scientific Realism
Grade Method: REG/P-F/AUD Scientific
realism is the optimistic view that modern
science is on the right track; the world
is really as our best theories describe
it. Scientific realism has various tenets.
Yet all of them have been seriously
challenged. In this course, we shall study
some of the main arguments for and against
scientific realis. In our study, we shall
consider questions such as: Are scientific
theories merely instruments for empirical
predictions, or do they reflect the way
the world really is? If scientific realism
is false, how can we explain the success
of science? What are the relations between
scientific theories and scientific models,
i.e. between abstract theories and working
models that scientists actually use in
their everyday work? The course does not
require any special background in science
or philosophy, though a background in
science or the philosophy of science will
certainly be an advantage. PREREQUISITES:
Two courses in philosophy or permission of
the instructor.
