Logic is the study of the principles of valid reasoning. This course provides an introduction to symbolic logic, which studies the principles of valid reasoning from an abstract point of view -- paying attention to the form of valid arguments rather than their subject matter. We will cover the basic concepts and principles of symbolic logic: validity, logical truth, truth-functional and quantificational inference, formal languages and formal systems, axiomatic and deductive proof procedures.

We shall investigate Plato's views on knowledge, metaphysics, and the nature of the soul, including moral psychology. We will read and discuss Plato's dialogues philosophically - for their philosophical content - rather than from a literary or cultural point of view. Only those interested in reading Plato this way should enroll.

This course will focus on the conditions for personal identity over time, with implications for the beginning and end of life. We will investigate what it is rational to care about in caring about survival or continued existence, and whether our account of what it is rational to care about should change if we discover either that (1) there is no human soul or (2) no self or subject behind our various conscious acts. The course will investigate what it is rational to care about in caring about one's future existence.

Proofs of some of the principal results regarding first-order languages (and the theories expressed in them): Church's undecidability theorem, the Lowenheim-Skolem Theorem, G�del's theorems on the completeness of first-order logic and the incompleteness of arithmetic; because several of these concern the possibility of devising computational tests for semantic properties (logical validity, truth), an introduction to the theory of computability (Turing Machines/ recursive functions); if time permits, some properties of second-order logic.

This course will offer a comprehensive account of current work on the mind/body problem with reference where appropriate to the historical background. Topics will include: the place of the mind in a world apparently composed entirely of physical stuff and governed by physical laws; competing accounts of mental states; the language of thought hypothesis versus connectionism; theories of mental content; the nature of psychological explanation.

This course will survey three topics in metaphysics. The first is free will: We ordinarily think that much of what we do is done freely. Is this ordinary thought correct? Is it compatible with the plausible view that everything, including our own actions, is in principle amenable to prediction and explanation? The second topic is material constitution: What is the relation between material objects, such as statues, and the stuff they're made out of, such as portions of metal?The final topic is time: Is it coherent to think that time passes? Do past and future things exist, or is the present all there is? And perhaps: Is time-travel possible?

Ethics, Aesthetics and the Arts: Ever since Plato's REPUBLIC, the arts have been the target of ethical criticisms. We will examine these criticisms, discuss whether the aesthetics status of art renders it immune to them, and consider in detail the case --not of the fine but-- of the popular arts, in particular, television, which gives such criticisms an unexpected immediacy and leads to many of the most important problems of aesthetics.

An examination of Nietzsche's views on morality, concentrating on the late works, particularly *On the Genealogy of Morality*. Questions include: How, if at all, are religious and philosophical justifications of morality connected? What is the "naturalistic" basis on Nietzsche's criticisms of morality? What exactly is "genealogy"? What is "perspectivism"? Is Nietzsche's philosophy "aestheticist" and, if so, is it socially and politically reactionary, irresponsible or worth taking seriously? How have his views affected contemporary thought?
