| Description: | FRESHMEN ONLY SECTION PHI 109-01/01F = GEN 200-01/01F: Philosophical Perspectives: Nature We refer to nature to make claims about the world, what is and what should be. Nature is used to justify the social order by identifying essences that prescribe roles. It is used to legitimate social hierarchy by dividing the world between what is closer to nature and what overcomes or surpasses nature. Nature is used to distinguish between good and natural actions and bad and unnatural ones. What is more closely associated with nature and material is considered that which culture uses to achieve its ends. This course will examine the philosophical positions behind these claims and critiques of these positions. The course will take up the example of gender at various places across the semester to think about the implications of various conceptions of nature in the history of philosophy. This course is NOT open to Junior and Senior PHI Majors. Prerequisite: None Credit: 1 Instructor: Adriel Trott |
