PHI 3450 - Human Nature and Conduct: Variable Topics

3(3 + 0)

Prerequisite: PHI 3000 or PHI 3020

This variable topics course examines philosophical writings on the topic of human nature and/or concerns a critical investigation of social structures and cultural institutions that rely on some concept of human nature (either explicitly to implicitly). Possible themes may center around issues such as life and death, embodiment, nature vs. convention, responsibility, solitude and community, or personhood;  alternately, the course may consider the ethical and social thought of an individual thinker, such as Dewey, Freud, or Habermas, or a school or movement, such as Stoicism, the British Idealism, or the conservative tradition, with an emphasis on human nature and/or society.
