Two classes scheduled for fall have lower enrollments right now, and I’m sure more students are interested in them.
The first is Mike Ashfield’s PHIL 3550 “Philosophy and the Public Square”, which will be focusing on hot-button issues, especially those being discussed in relation to the upcoming U.S. presidential election. This is a great opportunity to engage constructively with other students on relevant, topical issues. The class meets MWF, 1:30-2:20.
The second is Charlie Huenemann’s PHIL 4900 Philosophy Seminar, which will focus on Existentialism. Along with reading some classic texts (Kafka, Nietzsche, Kierkegaard, Sartre, Camus, etc), we will also consider more recent cognitive science and philosophical research into how selves are constructed. There are some pre-reqs for this class, but if you are close to meeting them, or if you are an experienced philosophy student but just haven’t yet taken PHIL 3010 and 3020, and want to take this class, just send a note to Huenemann.
