PHILOSOPHY 130: Moral Dilemmas:Limiting Liberty
3.00 Credits
Hobart William Smith Colleges
The fundamental question addressed in this course is: To what extent is it morally justifiable to limit a person's liberty The two topics in connection with which this question is considered are pornography and hate speech. Both of these topics concern contents of expression that some people think are justifiably restrained. Others think that however abhorrent the contents of expression in those areas may be, freedom of expression should be abridged in very limited kinds of cases, and that the topics in question do not fall within that limited class. This course attempts to reach an understanding of the concerns that underlie both positions, the arguments that may be presented for and against both positions, and how to evaluate those arguments in order to reach a judgment that can be shown to be satisfactory.

PHILOSOPHY 140: Introduction to Value Theory
3.00 Credits
Hobart William Smith Colleges
Values are embodied in our interpretations, in personal and collective perspectival stances we take on issues of everyday life. They become manifest in actions and words, when we state our opinion on, say, U.S. foreign policy, the role of parenting, the role of women in religion, the value of higher education etc. Values are generally acted out, most of them unconsciously. But some of them can be raised into our awareness and can be talked and written about. Although this process of consciousness-raising is not without its problems, this is precisely what this course tries to undertake. This course is an occasion for students to examine their personal beliefs surrounding the meaning or lack of meaning they encounter in major issues around the globe, both past and contemporary. Students begin by studying and writing about values in the form of aphorisms, anecdotes, short paragraphs. Then they aim at larger texts such as parables, fables, myths, manifestos, poems, and entire books. Students have as their main project to arrive at an overall narrative embodying some of their values. All writing in the course is oriented toward that final project. (Baer, offered occasionally)
