Study of some of major problematic areas in ascription of legal liability and responsibility. Chief areas of concern are: (1) grounds on which courts determine who or what is causally responsible for what occurred; (2) extent to which finding of legal responsibility should take account of intentions, knowledge, recklessness, etc., of accused; and (3) whether only sane individuals should be held legally responsible.

To get a perspective on the ethical, social, and scientific issues raised by the development of genetics, we will discuss such topics as in vitro fertilization, surrogate motherhood, recombinant DNA, genetic counseling, the history of eugenics, and the attempt to formulate a logic for the scientific method.

Transformation of ideas from one discipline to another, especially transformation of ideas from philosophy to science and from science to generalized world view.

Examines the application of the concept of entropy to human society as a whole, through the critical reading and discussion of works by Jeremy Rifkin and Bernard Cohen. Energy is conserved, but most physical processes involve transformations of available energy into forms less readily available. Rifkin claims that civilized humanity should reorder its priorities to minimize increases of entropy, which characterize such transformations. Several topics in the physical sciences are presented in some detail to provide adequate technical background to evaluate Rifkin’s theses.

Note: Effective Summer Quarter 2010-11 (June 2011) any non-repeatable course may be retaken two times excluding withdrawals, but only last course taken counts.
