PHIL 29209 /39209: Causation in Early Modern Rationalism
3.00 Credits
University of Chicago
Substance metaphysics from the early modern period, from Descartes to Leibniz, is sometimes presented under the heading "causal rationalism." It is true that the conception of causality in the early modern philosophers constitutes a key to understanding their systems. This seminar retraces the most important chapters in this complex story concerning causality and rationality in seventeenth-century continental philosophy. We study primary texts by the most prominent figures in the early modern tradition, from the neo-scholastic Suarez, through Descartes, Malebranche, and Spinoza to Leibniz . M. Laerke. Winter.

PHIL 29909: Freedom of the Will
3.00 Credits
University of Chicago
The problem of free will is one of the most vexing philosophical problems. On the one hand, human agents seem to be free to choose among different courses of action. On the other hand, there is strong evidence that a combination of factors such as upbringing, unconscious desires, social conditions, and neural processes determines our choices. It seems that they cannot both be true. Is there no free will Or do these factors not fully determine our choices Is there, perhaps, a middle ground, a kind of determination that leaves room for freedom In this course, we ask what we mean when we say that we are free. The course surveys a variety of conflicting accounts of human freedom offered by philosophers. Readings include works by Immanuel Kant, David Hume, A. J. Ayer, Harry Frankfurt, Peter van Inwagen, Peter Strawson, Theodore Dreiser, Richard Wright, and B. F. Skinner. T. Land, Spring.
