Honors Interdisciplinary Philosophy Seminar

Catalog description

Offered every fall semester, HON215 is an interdisciplinary seminar that honors students typically take in the fall semester of their second year. The seminar, which may or may not be team taught, features an interdisciplinary approach to topics of the instructor's (or instructors') choosing. Typically, the seminar will alternate between humanities-based themes (e.g. monsters and the monstrous) and science-based themes (e.g. bioethics) with an interdisciplinary approach to topics in moral philosophy serving as the seminar's foundation. Attention will be paid to the ethical implications of the selected topics, questions of value, the nature of the good life, and/or moral obligations towards others and oneself. Open only to Integral Honors Program students. This course replaces PHL 210 in the Core Curriculum.
