PHIL 294-01  Reading the Critique of Pure Reason
TR 01:20 pm-02:50 pm MAIN 011 Janet Folina
*Cross-listed with GERM 294-01; taught in English* We will begin by first reading the Prolegomena to any Future Metaphysics, which gives an overview of the thesis and vision of the Critique. Then we will turn to reading the Critique section by section. Interpreting this work is a wonderful intellectual challenge; assisting us will be a detailed, secondary resource on the main arguments. If time allows we will also read some more current scholarship on Kant's philosophy; depending on student interest this could include themes such as Kant's philosophy of science, his philosophy of mathematics, and/or his philosophy of religion. (Philosophy 231, Modern Philosophy, is recommended but not required. For German Studies majors, this course can be used to fulfill either the theory requirement or the extra-departmental German content requirement.)

PHIL 294-02  Ethics and the Internet
MWF 01:10 pm-02:10 pm MAIN 111 Diane Michelfelder
In this course, we are going to be looking at ethical questions connected with the Internet as we know it today: an online environment where content is generated and shared through user activities such as blogging, media sharing, social networking, tagging, tweeting, virtual world gaming, wiki developing, and the like. The course will loosely be divided into three parts. We will start by considering debates over freedom of speech, privacy, surveillance, and intellectual property: issues that pre-exist the development of the Internet, but which because of it have taken on new dimensions. From here we will go on to take up some ethical questions arising from four different domains of activity on the social web: gaming, social networking, blog/wiki developing, and “hacktivism.” In the third part of the course, we will consider broad questions connected to the integration of the Internet with devices other than the personal computer and mobile phone and which open the prospect of a world of integrated networked systems. What are some of the impacts of such integration on our everyday ethical relations with others and on the overall quality of our lives? How does being networked affect the meaning of being human?
