What is philosophy? Is it purely theoretical inquiry, or does it spill over into the way we live our lives? How is it different from other academic disciplines or from religion? The course will examine what some of the most influential contemporary philosophers think about these questions. But in addition to this, we will trace the story of the emergence of philosophy in the ancient Greece and its development up to present day. We will read the works of Plato, Kant, and Nietzsche as well as such prominent contemporary philosophers as Rorty, Foucault, and Taylor.

In this course, we will sample philosophical issues surrounding quantum and relativity theories. We will begin by looking at the measurement problem in quantum mechanics, assess various proposed solutions to it, and the frailties to which they are prone. We will then focus on the concept of non-locality which stems from the notion of entanglement in quantum systems. The second part of this course is meant as an introduction to the philosophy of relativity physics. Our goal will be to understand the nature of space-time theories and various fundamental aspects of relativistic physics such as the conventionality of simultaneity thesis and the speed of light postulate from a philosophical perspective. No previous background in physics will be required as the necessary formalisms will be developed as we go.

The central questions of this class are: (1) what is epistemic relativism? and (2) is it true? The focus of this class will be exclusively on epistemic (not moral) relativism. We will draw on work from analytic philosophy and the history of science. Topics to be discussed include: conceptual schemes (are there any?), non-representational views of language, and cognitive pluralism.’’

This course introduces students to some major philosophical problems about science, including these three: (1) Is there a universal set of rules constituting the “scientific method” that scientists must always follow in order to be rational? (2) Can science provide knowledge of an “unobservable” world underlying our experiences, and if so how? Or is science confined to speaking about the world of observation? (3) Are there important differences between philosophy and science? We will consider disputes between rationalists (e.g., Descartes) and empiricists (e.g., Newton) on scientific method, historical and contemporary debates between scientific realists and instrumentalists about the reach of science, as well as different viewpoints concerning the relationship between philosophy and science. No particular science or philosophy background is presupposed.
