  • HNRS 225C: P2 What is Justice,Anyway

    3.00 Credits
    Saint John Fisher University

    What is justice, anyway Is it a moral standard that has its source in God, or is it an invention of human reason Is it a personal virtue or the basis for the social contract Is it a universal standard that holds across cultures or is it relative to particular times and places Part One of the course attempts to answer the central question through exploring classic and contemporary theories of justice in a variety of contexts. In engaging primary texts from diverse religious and philosophical traditions, students discover that justice is something that defies uniform definition, and yet that there are some basic characteristics of justice that must be present if all persons are to participate fully in society. Part Two of the course explores how justice is applied (or not applied) to contemporary issues through a series of Frontline documentaries.

  • HNRS 246C: CC Eros,Philia,and Agape in the New Testament

    3.00 Credits
    Saint John Fisher University

    All humans love; in fact, all animals exercise at least one form of love. Though Western cultures use (and abuse) the word, other cultures (old and new) distinguish between the various forms of love while recognizing their affinity with each other. For example, the Christian Scriptures use one particular Greek word for love-agape. This course explores, among other things, why this is the case and seeks to give reasons for the appreciation and enjoyment of all varieties of love, including this unique form of agape love.

  • HNRS 252C: P4 Mathematics of Games

    3.00 Credits
    Saint John Fisher University

    The world of "games" provides a rich environment for mathematicaldiscussions. Throughout the history of mathematics, mathematicians have been inspired to analyze games and to invent games. These analyses have led to the development of whole new areas of mathematics and have enriched many existing areas. Alas, much of this material seldom finds its way into the curriculum of either the primary or secondary school or the college and university level. However, that fact has a hidden advantage for us. Exactly because most of us have had little opportunity to analyze games, novel problems will occur when we begin to do so. This novelty necessitates "out-of-the-box" thinking and provides a novel collection of problems for usto examine. For some of the work in this course, we see new and surprising applications of familiar tools. Elsewhere, we see very new (to us) tools developed to analyze games which turn out to have amazing other uses.

  • HNRS 310D: Patriarchy and Violence in the Bible

    3.00 Credits
    Saint John Fisher University

    Through an exploration of the historical, cultural, theological, and literary development of the Bible and close readings of selected biblical texts, students discover that the Bible does not condone or support the excesses of patriarchy; rather, it shows-in realistic and dramatic fashion-thenegative effects of patriarchy for both men and women. In the sinful, patriarchal world of the Bible, all human beings are victimized, all are violated, all are made less than human. Yet despite this grim reality, the Bible also reveals alternative modes of existence that can free all human beings from the pathologies of sin. Read within its proper contexts, the Bible thus serves as a legitimate source of liberation for both men and women.
