As a community, diverse life experiences, socioeconomic backgrounds, and beliefs may clash, with no easy solutions. We are challenged when our aspirations are unmet and our imaginations unrealized. How can colleges craft responses to foster the promise of higher education–from opportunity and social mobility to inclusion and pluralism? What more can and should be done? Through course materials, in conjunction with our own experiences and analysis, we will situate the institution of higher education within the broader context of American society, politics, and the economy. As part of our collective journey this semester, we will practice a variety of learning modalities, including student-driven discussion, informal in-class writing, formal (out-of-class) writing, and group projects.

PHIL 074 PZ -Power and Politics in Art
Institution: Pitzer
Description: In the past century, art has become interwoven with neoliberalism and late capitalism. Yet, some contend, artistic creation has never been the pure expression of individual genius, nor has the reception of art ever been immune to the influences of ideology. If artists are not independent self-knowers, but rather products of socially constructed effects of power, to what extent do they have control over their work? If objective certainty is a myth, how do we judge good art from bad? If the cult of the ‘genius’ is a product of patriarchy, how do we conceive of creative expression? How do forms of new media influence consciousness and political action? This course will consider these questions using twentieth-century and contemporary European philosophy, including post-structuralism, French feminism, and the Frankfurt School.

PHIL 125 PZ -History of the Self
Institution: Pitzer
Description: Contemporary Americans tend to take for granted that we have a ‘self,’ but a closer look reveals to most of us that we don’t know what the self is. Moreover, it’s unclear that there is such a thing as a self, and whether it is a necessary idea. In this course, we will consider a variety of theories of selfhood from the history of Anglo-European philosophy in order to put pressure on contemporary assumptions about selfhood. Thinkers studied will include Augustine, Montaigne, Butler, Foucault, James, and Taylor. The course will utilize philosophical and historical methods in order to analyze critically the ways that our present-day understandings of the self are conditioned by the past.
Prerequisite(s): Please check course schedule for requirements.

PHIL 130 PZ -Monkey Business: Controversies in Human Evolution
Institution: Pitzer
Description: Ever since Darwin first posited a plausible mechanism for evolution, scientists and non-scientists alike have used his ideas to support their own concepts about the nature of human nature. In class, we will examine the history, concepts and philosophy behind Darwin’s ideas, exploring in the process the fields of sociobiology, cognitive psychology, and primatology, among others. We will also consider the relationship between development and evolution as we attempt to build an understanding of Darwin’s mechanism that is free of the confused notions that have become attached to it over the years.
Prerequisite(s): A college-level course in at least one of the following three areas: psychology, philosophy, or biology, or permission of the instructor. Please also check the current course schedule for requirements.

PHIL 153 PZ -Care of the Self
Institution: Pitzer
Description: Contemporary U.S. society praises the idea of ‘self-care’. Individuals are encouraged to care for themselves through expensive health regimens, self-help books, and quasi-spiritual practices, spurred by phrases such as “treat yourself” and “be true to yourself.” This course will consider the nature of self-care from ancient societies to the present day. Guiding questions include: Who am I, and how should I treat myself? What is the relation between self-care and self-knowledge? How is it possible to change or improve oneself, if at all? What does self-love look like? Does self-care promote the greater good of society or detract from it by promoting selfishness?
Prerequisite(s): Please check course schedule for requirements.

PHIL 155 PZ -Islam vs. Islam
Institution: Pitzer
Description: In this course we will examine the major theological/philosophical traditions: the “rationalist” and the “traditionalist,” that emerged in early Islamic history and continues to exist to the present day. In the course of the examination, we will see how these two traditions FUNDAMENTALLY disagree on how to determine the nature of God, the status of the Quran, the significance of the prophetic tradition, and the roles of human reason on Muslim society. We will investigate these topics in the writings of thinkers from the classic period to the present-day, such as al-Ash’ari, al-Baqilani, al-Qadi, al-Ghazali, Aricenna, Averroes, Ibn Taymiyyah ‘Abd al-Wahab, etc.

PHIL 186S PO -Spinoza and Leibniz on Reality
Institution: Pomona
Description: In this course we will investigate some core topics in Western Modern Philosophy by examining the thoughts of Spinoza (1632-1677) and Leibniz (1646-1716). We will be introduced to the central metaphysical, epistemological, and moral claims of Spinoza and Leibniz through reading primary texts. Claims pertaining to the nature and the constitution of reality, the problem of infinity and unity, the existence of non-physical entities, e.g., God, the free will problem, the mind-body Problem, and the theory of causation. We will address questions such as: What is the nature of the universe? Is its existence necessary? Are the laws of nature causally or logically necessary? Do humans exercise free will? What is the relation between God and the universe?
