Forgiveness is not a theoretical attitude-it is a decision that one must make. To make this decision in a properly informed way, it is necessary to reflect on the evil against which the possibility of forgiveness is to be measured, and what-if anything-wouldconstitute repentance for such an evil. This course examines the efforts to address these matters with respect to the Holocaust. Among the questions to be considered are: What was the evil of Nazism? Why does it remain a source of fascination? Is it possible for Germany to repent of its past? Is forgiveness possible after Auschwitz? Prerequisite: PHI 2201 or PHI 2203. 3 credits. 3 credits.

Throughout history, philosophy has attempted to address a number of questions: Why are we here? What type of beings are we? Is there a purpose to the lives we lead? What is the nature of evil? How can we live moral, purposeful lives-and is it necessary for us even to attempt to do so? With the invention of "moving pictures," these philosophical questions began to beaddressed within the context of commercial films and, later, television, raising the possibility that the very nature of these questions becomes altered through the lens of the moving image. In this course we combine philosophical readings with the viewing of films and television programs in an attempt to address the question, "Has the moving image changed the way we think?"Prerequisite: PHI 2201 or PHI 2203. 3 credits.
