FRSEMR 42u: The Laws of War and the War on Terrorism
4.00 Credits
Harvard University
How do the "laws of war" regulate the conduct of the United States in the "Global War on Terrorism?" This seminar examines the historical development of two legal concepts: jus ad bellum, which determines the legitimacy of the use of armed force; and jus in bello, which defines the duties of soldiers and belligerent states. Drawing on this background, the seminar explores how these laws have influenced U.S. military and anti-terrorism operations since 9/11.

We will read both historical and contemporary works, including selections from Plato, Aristotle, Descartes, Nagel, Jackson, Freud, Kramer, Tolstoy, Lawrence, and Proust.

FRSEMR 43k: American Bodies, American Beauty

The course will pay close attention to the racial and sexual politics of these bodily ideals, and the ways in which people have either affirmed or transgressed bodily norms.

FRSEMR 43l: Happiness in Philosophy and Psychoanalysis
4.00 Credits
Harvard University
Everyone wants to be happy. But do we even know what we want when we say that we desire happiness? Few questions generate so much existential anxiety and overwhelming philosophical interest. For without knowledge of happiness, how can we know what it means to live a good life? This course examines these questions as they have been considered variously in philosophy and psychoanalysis. Readings include works by Aristotle, Descartes, Rousseau, Kant, Nietzsche, Freud, and Zizek.

FRSEMR 43o: Shakespeare and Political Philosophy
4.00 Credits
Harvard University
We read a series of Shakespeare plays alongside classic texts of Western political philosophy in order to explore how Shakespeare illuminates the deepest questions of political philosophy, and vice versa. Though there are many legitimate ways to read classical literature and classical political theory our basic framing questions are existential. That is to say: What is the true condition of, and what are the legitimate hopes for, finite, self-conscious, collective human existence in this world?
