3.00 - 6.00 Credits
Credits: 3 Prerequisite: none This course will examine ways in which a variety of nonstandard sources--films, novels, music, television--can offer insights into compelling philosophical questions such as the nature of knowledge, the meaning of reality, what it means to live ethically, and the meaning and possibilities of justice. Too often, philosophy is perceived by students to be simply a study of archaic ideas from long-dead sages. Philosophical ideas and questions, however, provide a pervasive underpinning for much of popular culture. And, equally importantly, popular culture increasingly presents itself as the platform for shared discourse within our society (and world). Transfer Curriculum Goal(s): 6

-
3.00 - 9.00 Credits
Credits: 3 Prerequisite: none The purpose of this course is to help students develop analytical and reasoning skills that will permit them to more effectively understand and discern the logical content of various types of persuasive communication that will empower them to: 1) defend themselves from deceptive arguments and attempts to persuade, as well as 2) to more precisely clarify and evaluate their own thoughts, beliefs, values and goals. To accomplish this, students will examine the uses and misuses of language and definition, and underlying behavioral dynamics that explain why some forms of weak reasoning can be so psychologically compelling. They will then learn how to recognize arguments and formally analyze the logical structure of a persuasive communication to more clearly understand what actual reasons exist for a given belief and to clarify the extent those reasons should obligate us. The main focus will be on the nature and use of arguments, with the goal that students will learn to both criticize arguments of others and also construct more cogent and convincing arguments of their own. Transfer Curriculum Goal(s): 2, 9
