This course is an introduction to the major concepts, techniques, and results of modern logic, aimed at students who have taken at least one formal logic course (or equivalent) in the past. Topics covered include soundness and completeness for propositional and first- order logic, compactness for first-order logic, the Löwenheim-Skolem theorems, second-order logic, and philosophical implications of some these results.

In recent years, the U.S. legal system has been beset by claims of overcriminalization, racially discriminatory enforcement, and inadequate or unequal protection of individual civil rights. What should we make of these claims, and what, if anything, would be implied by their truth? In seeking to answer these questions, this course will examine the nature of the law and its enforcement. We will begin by discussing the issue of criminalization and whether the expansion of the criminal law is or is not problematic. From there, we will turn to the foundational questions of what, precisely, the law is, and what its connection to morality is or should be. Are we obligated to obey the law, and if so, why? Finally, we will ask whether it is possible for the law to remain neutral with regards to morality and politics, and whether the supposed “neutrality” of the law may itself be an instrument of oppression. If the legal system lacks the kind of neutrality that many legal theorists claim for it, what (if anything) does that license us (as citizens) to do? (Offered every spring)

Environmental injustice occurs whenever some individual or group suffers unjust environmental risk, lacks fair access to environmental goods, or is unjustly denied opportunity to meaningfully engage in or be represented in individual or collective environmental decision-making. This course will examine issues of environmental justice, both local and global, for both present and future generations, bringing philosophical analysis to bear on such topics as toxic exposures, industrial accidents, water rights, climate disruption, and energy and food systems.

Metaphysics is roughly the philosophical study of what there is, the nature of what there is, and how all the things there are fit together. This course will typically discuss 4-6 metaphysical questions, usually including at least a few of the following. Is it possible for two objects to have exactly the same properties? Are objects' properties special entities, and if so, what kind? Is space (or spacetime) an entity? Under what conditions to parts compose a whole? What is the nature of possibility and necessity? What makes it true that there used to be dinosaurs (or other entities that no longer exist)? What is the nature of time? Is change, including the passage of time, illusory?

An introduction to classic and contemporary problems in the philosophy of mind, this course investigates how the mind is related to the physical world. Topics include: What is the mind and how is it related to the brain? How is it possible for mental states to cause physical states, and vise versa? How do mental states get their intentional content? What is consciousness and can it be given a physical explanation? What are the minds of other beings - such as animals and artificially intelligent computers - like, and how could we know?

This course is an in-depth introduction to the formal analysis of natural language meaning, employing techniques that have been developed in language and formal philosophy over the last century. Issues include intensionality, quantification, tense, presupposition, plurality, the analysis of discourse, and other current issues. Familiarity with syntax, logic, and/or computation are helpful but not necessary. See LING 265 & LING 465.

This course will function as a kind of ancient philosophy proseminar. We'll meet weekly and divide our time roughly in half: Half of our time will be devoted to studying ancient Greek philosophy in translation, and we'll adjust the format and topic to fit whatever the group would find most useful. We could, for example: cover commonly-taught core texts (Phaedo? Physics II?); fill in gaps (presocratics? Hellenistics?); or do a careful reading of some text(s) of special interest to the group. The other half of our time will be devoted to the study of Ancient Greek, with the aim of helping beginners in the language to acquire the kind of familiarity needed to teach ancient philosophy confidently. Students are welcome and encouraged to attend only one half or the other.
