Philosophy is the attempt to answer, through rational reflection, the deepest and most fundamental questions of human existence. What is the meaning of life? How can people achieve true happiness and fulfillment? Does God exist? What do we mean by God? Why should we be moral? How should we decide what is right? Are people really free? Do humans have souls, or are we just physically complex organisms? What is a soul? Is there life after death? What can we know and how can we know it? This course invites students to critically reflect on these and other perennial issues through contemporary and historical texts.

This course explores fundamental questions of human existence through the lens of popular culture. While some popular culture is undoubtedly shallow and ephemeral, a good deal is substantive and enduring. Popular and high-quality films (e.g., Star Wars and The Matrix), television shows (e.g., Star Trek and House M.D.), streaming series (e.g., The Handmaid's Tale and Black Mirror), and even comedians (e.g., George Carlin and Amy Schumer) often raise big questions in compelling ways. Although particular topics and readings in this course will vary from semester to semester, likely topics include: the limits of human knowledge, the nature of reality, the possibility of free will, ethical decision making, feminism, individual liberty versus state authority, the meaning of life, and life after death.

This course explores fundamental questions about the moral life and its relation to meaning and human fulfillment. Those questions include: How do we determine which actions are morally right? What kind of person should we become? If we do choose to commit to living a moral life, is this likely to inhibit or to enhance our well-being? This course will examine answers given by historically influential thinkers and consider how their answers apply to contemporary moral issues.

It has been proposed that bioethics is what angels - disembodied and immortal - would not have. More precisely, bioethics concerns issues and problems that arise in virtue of the bodily nature we human beings have: issues and problems around conception and birth, health and sickness, aging, dying, and the research we conduct and the technologies we have developed to ameliorate and enhance the human condition. Like bioethics itself, this course is concerned with moral theory as well as practice. Possible topics include the appropriate "ends" of heath care, the provision of health care, and the many controversies over different healthcare practices and procedures.

Social institutions, like marriage and the family among countless others, and political institutions, like departments of motor vehicles and police departments and the many other apparatuses of the state, profoundly shape our lives in ways both subtle and pronounced. But with what justifications? How should our common life be organized? What does justice demand? This course investigates such topics as the common good, the proper role of government, the relationship of citizen and state, human rights, right relations among states, marginalization and oppression, and social and economic justice.
