Philosophy

  
  • PHIL 30100 - Ontological Commitments

    Course Credit: 1
    Maximum Credit: 0
    ONTOLOGICAL COMMITMENTS Ontology, as part of metaphysics, investigates the general features of what there is, and takes up questions about topics as diverse and central as universals, particulars, space, time, causation, and persistence. This class undertakes a rigorous investigation of the ontological commitments we have - and works toward an understanding of which ones we should have. At the same time, it develops students’ skills in critical interpretation, analysis, argumentation, and expression. [AH]

    Course Credit: 1
    Maximum Credit: 0
    EPISTEMOLOGY: RATIONALITY AND OBJECTIVITY This course examines the nature and scope of human knowledge. What does it mean to be rational? What is objectivity? Can humans obtain knowledge and truth? We will critically examine answers presented by foundationalism, coherentism, reliabilism, and naturalized epistemology. Prerequisite(s): Take 2 courses from the Philosophy department [AH]

Other answers focus on communicative behavior and speech acts. Still others focus on the metaphorical use of language and context. We will critically evaluate these different approaches. Prerequisite(s): Take 2 courses from the Philosophy department [AH]

What is the source of the state’s authority to coerce and exclude, if there is any such thing? What is systemic misogyny? What is the nature and justification (if any) of socialism? How should we confront, in thought and action, grave historical injustices linked to present systems of profound yet morally arbitrary disadvantage? How are we to understand the proper relations between our multiform identities and the institutions of our political life? (A range of arguments and authors confronting some of these questions will be considered. Specific focus varies by instructor.) Prerequisite: a minimum of two Philosophy courses.

  • PHED 19901 - Why Sports Matter…For Fighting Scots

    Course Credit: 0.5
    Maximum Credit: 0
    WHY SPORTS MATTER…FOR FIGHTING SCOTS Have you ever wondered, why do we love sports? Our participation in sports provides a context for many life lessons: the thrill of competition, the building of life-long friendships that endure through victory and defeat, and the dedication and commitment to excellence. Sports also provide a framework to discuss complicated issues of race, social injustices, gender, culture, and class. But recently, every student-athlete’s experience at Wooster has been affected during the pandemic. Let us come together to reflect on issues impacting us, wrestle with the challenges the loss of sport brings, and to support healing our community. We also will discuss the role that sports plays in preparing leaders of tomorrow, because-as the NCAA says—“99% of us won’t go pro.” By offering essential training in time management, organization, mentoring, motivation, and relationship building, sports build a mindset to be our best selves through the learning experiences in adaptability, dependably, and mutual respect. It is important to reflect on those skills learned through sport that ultimately shape and define individuals after collegiate competition. This course is for those Fighting Scots who are “more than just an athlete.”

We will learn about the physical meaning of energy, work, power, temperature, and heat and investigate various conventional and sustainable energy ‘production’ methods. The cleanest energy is that which is never used, thus the physics of energy conservation will be examined. We will also explore other physical concepts encountered while living on this planet such as the greenhouse effect, environmental radioactivity, the Sun-Earth system, and the Earth’s magnetic field. Hands-on activities will be used extensively in labs throughout the semester. We will also participate in the Earth Day event on campus. No mathematics beyond high school algebra is assumed. Three hours per week. [MNS, Q]
