PHIL 399 Topics in Philosophy Citizenship 3 credits
Grade Method: REG/P-F/AUD Historically,
the idea of citizenship had been central
to political thinking. Yet, in the
post-war era the principal concepts of
political philosophy have been justice and
rights. Recent theoretical developments
and the resurgence of nationalism,
ethnicity, affirmation of culture
difference, migration and globalization in
the contemporary world have renewed the
interest in the concept of citizenship.
In PHIL 399-0101, we shall study some of
the recent developments in theories of
citizenship and nationalism and their
relevance for contemporary political
thinking.

PHIL 399A Topics in Philosophy TPCS:Philosophy and 3 credits
Film
Grade Method: REG/P-F/AUD Not only do
certain philosophical texts qualify as
art, but philosophical questions and idea
are articulated throughout the humanities
and arts: What is reality? What is
knowledge? Does God exist? Is justice
possible? What is art? And so on. PHIL
399A will explore philosophical questions
like these by combining philosophical
texts from the history of philosophy with
contemporary movies of a mostly Hollywood
origin.

PHIL 454 Animals and the Environment: Moral Theory 3 credits
and its
Grade Method: REG/P-F/AUD In PHIL 454-0101
we will examine issues involving the moral
significance of plants, non-human animals,
and ecosystems. Historically, the
non-human constituents of nature have been
largely marginalized as a result of
Western philosophy's efforts to reason-out
what is morally significant and why. In
the 1970s, however, a number of moral
philosophers began arguing that non-human
entities deserve much better. Our class
examines some of this early,
groundbreaking scholarship, but we also
look to contemporary writings that
continue challenging the moral status quo.
Specific topics to be addressed include
animal rights, the intrinsic value of
non-sentient nature, ecofeminism,
religious attitudes toward nature, and
'Third World' critiques of Western
environmentalism.

Science Philosophy of Quantum Mechanics
Grade Method: REG/P-F/AUD Quantum
mechanics is one of the main pillars of
modern physics. It applies to a very
broad range of physical phenomena
extremely successfully. Yet, about a
century after its birth, it is still
difficult to make a good sense of the
picture it portrays of the quantum realm.
The standard way of interpreting the
mathematical formalism of quantum
mechanics is riddled with various
difficulties. There are other ways to
interpret this formalism and there are
other theories of the quantum realm, but
similarly they all involve various
puzzles. In the course, we shall study the
foundations of quantum mechanics and some
alternative quantum theories, and try to
understand the radical difference between
the classical and the quantum pictures of
the physical reality. Our main focus will
be on philosophical and conceptual
questions rather than technical details,
and we shall assume no prior background in
quantum mechanics. Course requirements:
Some background in philosophy. or
physics.
