FYS 167 - Beyond Belief

Institution:

Lafayette College

Subject:

Description:

ESP, the occult, urban legends, conspiracy theories, and "weird" science.....Beliefs are perhaps the most central of all cognitive phenomena, yet there is widespread disagreement concerning what exactly beliefs are or how they are to be understood. In this seminar we will use examples of problematic beliefs-that is, those that have been marginalized by mainstream communities-in order to shed light on our own beliefs and how we formed them.
