Accordingly, this course suggests that musical and cultural improvisatory performances can carve out discursive space within the socio-political systems that marginalize these communities. Drawing on the methodologies and scholarship of social sciences and the performing arts, we will explore this dynamic through interdisciplinary case studies in the Trans-Atlantic African Diaspora, with attention to local interpretations of global jazz culture and fusions of local music with jazz performance aesthetics.

In other words, we begin with the thought of politics as a distinct sphere of activity, centered around the state, and separable from other spheres such as morality and religion. The problem of the modern state and the relationship of the political to other domains of life will guide our exploration of the fundamental concepts and debates of modern political thought. Other themes we will discuss include secularism and toleration, absolutist and popular sovereignty, constitutionalism and individual rights, theories of war and colonialism, and the relationship between social and political forms of domination.

Each section addresses a few of these questions to introduce a range of sharply contrasting positions.

Close attention is paid to formulating questions precisely and to the technique of analyzing arguments through careful consideration of texts.\n\nEach semester. Staff.\n\nSection 1: Knowledge and Agency\n\nWhat shall I do? What are the demands of morality? What is their basis (if there is one)? What is freedom of the will and do we enjoy it? Why is death bad? What is the meaning of life? (Does it have a meaning?) What can we know? What is knowledge? Are we just material beings or do we possess an immaterial (and, perhaps immortal) soul? These are and have always been fundamental philosophical questions. We will deal with them by reading and discussing classical as\n\nwell as contemporary philosophical texts.\n\nSection 3: Truth and Desire\n\nThis course is designed to develop your natural ability to think philosophically by heightening your sense of wonder and honing your critical skills. We will take a historical approach, starting with Plato and then reading Descartes and Nietzsche before turning to more contemporary theorists like Frantz Fanon and Sandra Bartky. Throughout the course, we will pursue questions about truth (What is it? How does it relate to knowledge? When do we know that we know?) as well as questions about desire (What do we want? How does that relate to what we should want, our ideas of the good life, and the kind of life we should lead?) and the relationship between the two.\n\nSection 4: Knowledge and the World\n\n“Men fear thought as they fear nothing else on earth—more than ruin, more than even death.” Bertrand Russell believed that education’s primary goal should be to instill in students not only the ability to seek knowledge, but also the desire for it, the joy of it, and the appreciation of its power. For Russell, this was also an essential component of philosophy. In this course, we will investigate the quest for knowledge itself: what are we looking for and how should we be looking for it? We will read some of the canonical answers to these questions as well as some answers that are not so canonical.

Why is death bad? What is the meaning of life? (Does it have a meaning?) What can we know? What is knowledge? Are we just material beings or do we possess an immaterial (and, perhaps immortal) soul? These are and have always been fundamental philosophical questions. We will deal with them by reading and discussing classical as\n\nwell as contemporary philosophical texts.\n\nSection 3: Truth and Desire\n\nThis course is designed to develop your natural ability to think philosophically by heightening your sense of wonder and honing your critical skills. We will take a historical approach, starting with Plato and then reading Descartes and Nietzsche before turning to more contemporary theorists like Frantz Fanon and Sandra Bartky. Throughout the course, we will pursue questions about truth (What is it? How does it relate to knowledge? When do we know that we know?) as well as questions about desire (What do we want? How does that relate to what we should want, our ideas of the good life, and the kind of life we should lead?) and the relationship between the two.\n\nSection 4: Knowledge and the World\n\n“Men fear thought as they fear nothing else on earth—more than ruin, more than even death.” Bertrand Russell believed that education’s primary goal should be to instill in students not only the ability to seek knowledge, but also the desire for it, the joy of it, and the appreciation of its power. For Russell, this was also an essential component of philosophy. In this course, we will investigate the quest for knowledge itself: what are we looking for and how should we be looking for it? We will read some of the canonical answers to these questions as well as some answers that are not so canonical.

Each section addresses a few of these questions to introduce a range of sharply contrasting positions.

Close attention is paid to formulating questions precisely and to the technique of analyzing arguments through careful consideration of texts.\n\nEach semester. Staff.\n\nSection 1: Knowledge and Agency\n\nWhat shall I do? What are the demands of morality? What is their basis (if there is one)? What is freedom of the will and do we enjoy it? Why is death bad? What is the meaning of life? (Does it have a meaning?) What can we know? What is knowledge? Are we just material beings or do we possess an immaterial (and, perhaps immortal) soul? These are and have always been fundamental philosophical questions. We will deal with them by reading and discussing classical as\n\nwell as contemporary philosophical texts.\n\nSection 3: Truth and Desire\n\nThis course is designed to develop your natural ability to think philosophically by heightening your sense of wonder and honing your critical skills. We will take a historical approach, starting with Plato and then reading Descartes and Nietzsche before turning to more contemporary theorists like Frantz Fanon and Sandra Bartky. Throughout the course, we will pursue questions about truth (What is it? How does it relate to knowledge? When do we know that we know?) as well as questions about desire (What do we want? How does that relate to what we should want, our ideas of the good life, and the kind of life we should lead?) and the relationship between the two.\n\nSection 4: Knowledge and the World\n\n“Men fear thought as they fear nothing else on earth—more than ruin, more than even death.” Bertrand Russell believed that education’s primary goal should be to instill in students not only the ability to seek knowledge, but also the desire for it, the joy of it, and the appreciation of its power. For Russell, this was also an essential component of philosophy. In this course, we will investigate the quest for knowledge itself: what are we looking for and how should we be looking for it? We will read some of the canonical answers to these questions as well as some answers that are not so canonical.

While serious problems remain, parts of Philadelphia are experiencing a remarkable rebirth and the city has reversed its decades-long trend of population loss. This class will look at the historical development of economic and educational inequality and an effort to address them in South Philadelphia, a largely poor and working-class area undergoing some of the most dramatic social change in the city. For over a century South Philly has been among the city’s most diverse and culturally vibrant areas and a major gateway for immigrants from across the globe—most recently from several Asian countries and the Puebla region of Mexico. The class will travel to South Philly and see the neighborhood in walking tours. The course has a significant community-based learning component in which students will contribute to an on-going project at one of the city’s most diverse public schools: Andrew Jackson Elementary. Jackson’s principal has developed a vision for making the school a model of how a green curriculum can be a low-cost vehicle for under-resourced urban schools to achieve academic excellence. We will help build a rooftop garden where Jackson’s students will learn the science of environmental sustainability by growing their own food. Students will also work to develop the next phase of Jackson becoming a model green school by designing a science greenhouse foe aquaponic and hydroponic vegetable growing systems. Every aspect of this greenhouse will showcase principles of energy efficiency and foster learning of science and math. The goal is to create a classroom that demonstrates daily the potential of passive and active solar energy technologies, allowing Jackson’s students to explore first-hand a critical question: which one is really the expensive “alternative” energy source: solar or digging up carbon fuels and burning them?\n\nNote: Students who want to enroll/get credit for this as Educational Studies will need to have taken EDUC 014.", - "updatedAt": "2014-11-26T06:35:33.702Z" - }, - { - "courseId": "053R", - "courseName": "Adv Rsch Tpcs in US Literature", - "courseType": "Course", - "createdAt": "2014-11-26T06:35:33.713Z", - "credit": 1, - "crossList": [], - "dept": "ENGL", - "division": "HU", - "hasLab": false, - "isFYS": false, - "isWritingCourse": false, - "manuallyModified": false, - "objectId": "jEsDOhMXX3", - "profFirstName": "Peter", - "profLastName": "Schmidt", - "reviews": [], - "searchArray": [ - "adv", - "rsch", - "tpcs", - "in", - "us", - "literature", - "engl", - "english", - "literature", - "english", - "literature", - "053r", - "peter", - "schmidt" - ], - "summary": "We are sorry, we didn't find a summary for this course.", - "updatedAt": "2014-11-26T06:35:33.713Z" - }, - { - "courseId": "035", - "courseName": "Data Structures and Algorithms", - "courseType": "Course", - "createdAt": "2014-11-26T06:35:33.723Z", - "credit": 1, - "crossList": [], - "dept": "CPSC", - "division": "NS", - "hasLab": true, - "isFYS": false, - "isWritingCourse": false, - "manuallyModified": false, - "objectId": "v2JmbuA36n", - "profFirstName": "Joshua", - "profLastName": "Brody", - "reviews": [], - "searchArray": [ - "data", - "structures", - "and", - "algorithms", - "cpsc", - "computer", - "science", - "cs", - "compsci", - "035", - "joshua", - "brody" - ], - "summary": "This course completes the broad introduction to computer science begun in CPSC 021.

Alternating between case and theory, and looking at power both naked and sublime, we will examine the struggle by the state and other elite actors to shape subjectivities through culture and identity formation in order to secure quiescence and rule. Close attention will be paid to how socializing agents, including schools and the educational system, media and film, and families and local communities, shape and reshape formal efforts to have ordinary citizens internalize what Stuart Hall describes as “the horizon of the taken-for-granted,” those ruling ideas and beliefs that consist “of things that go without saying because, being axiomatic, they come without saying; things that, being presumptively shared, are not normally the subject of explication or argument.” This course seeks to understand how such efforts succeed, falter, and change as they face the negotiations of the ordinary and the less powerful.

We will take a historical approach, starting with Plato and then reading Descartes and Nietzsche before turning to more contemporary theorists like Frantz Fanon and Sandra Bartky. Throughout the course, we will pursue questions about truth (What is it? How does it relate to knowledge? When do we know that we know?) as well as questions about desire (What do we want?

We will deal with them by reading and discussing classical as\n\nwell as contemporary philosophical texts.\n\nSection 3: Truth and Desire\n\nThis course is designed to develop your natural ability to think philosophically by heightening your sense of wonder and honing your critical skills. We will take a historical approach, starting with Plato and then reading Descartes and Nietzsche before turning to more contemporary theorists like Frantz Fanon and Sandra Bartky. Throughout the course, we will pursue questions about truth (What is it? How does it relate to knowledge? When do we know that we know?) as well as questions about desire (What do we want? How does that relate to what we should want, our ideas of the good life, and the kind of life we should lead?) and the relationship between the two.\n\nSection 4: Knowledge and the World\n\n\u201cMen fear thought as they fear nothing else on earth\u2014more than ruin, more than even death.\u201d Bertrand Russell believed that education\u2019s primary goal should be to instill in students not only the ability to seek knowledge, but also the desire for it, the joy of it, and the appreciation of its power. For Russell, this was also an essential component of philosophy. In this course, we will investigate the quest for knowledge itself: what are we looking for and how should we be looking for it? We will read some of the canonical answers to these questions as well as some answers that are not so canonical. We will ask what knowledge is, what kinds of knowledge we can have, and what it is exactly that we can know." - }, - { - "courseId": "009E", - "courseName": "Narcissus and the History of Reflection", - "courseType": "FYSeminar", - "credit": 1.0, - "crossList": [], - "dept": "ENGL", - "division": "HU", - "hasLab": false, - "isFYS": false, - "isWritingCourse": true, - "manuallyModified": false, - "profFirstName": "Eric", - "profLastName": "Song", - "reviews": [], - "searchArray": [ - "narcissus", - "and", - "the", - "history", - "of", - "reflection", - "engl", - "english", - "literature", - "english", - "literature", - "009e", - "eric", - "song" - ], - "summary": "Narcissism seems at once reprehensible and an unavoidable part of personhood.
