Most health care ethics focuses on the individual decisions about health care, but many ethical questions have implications for society at large. The demands that individual health decisions make on the system may create collective problems, and conversely, the needs of society may limit the freedoms that individuals think they should have. Public health ethics then, lie at the intersection of medicine, political philosophy, and public policy. This course will examine the values of health, social needs, and freedom through a systematic examination of situations in which these conflicts arise.

The course addresses major questions in epistemology using a textbook, Richard Feldman's Epistemology, and recent philosophical readings. The questions include: What is knowledge? Do context or practical concerns affect what we know? Do we really know anything about the world around us? What makes a belief justified? When is disagreement rational?

Many people believe that very soon, artificial intelligence is going to be everywhere. Artificial systems will steer cars, ships, and planes, care for the sick, fight fires and fight wars for us, organize our schedules, order our food, etc. But what exactly is an artificial intelligence? And can there be artificial systems that truly think, or feel? In this course, we will address questions like these from a philosophical perspective. In doing so, we will encounter some of the most fundamental issues in the philosophy of mind‹for example, what are thoughts and feelings, and how might they relate to physical states of our brains, or to computational states? We will then examine how artificial systems, such as artificial neural networks, function, and discuss what they might teach us about the mind in general and about human minds in particular. Finally, we will consider the consequences that the development and application of artificial intelligence might have for humanity.

The Republic brings together Plato's thought on a variety of subjects—from metaphysics and epistemology to psychology, education, and art—in a wide-ranging discussion of justice. The Republic is undoubtedly an important and influential work, but it has struck readers in diverse ways: Is it an idle utopian daydream? A pioneering work of feminism? A dangerous argument for authoritarianism? In this course, we'll carefully exam Plato's Republic to form our own impression of this foundational text (perhaps alongside other works leading up to or responding to it).
