PHIL 300 - Philosophies of Human Nature

3 Credits

Prerequisite(s): PHIL 101 or PHIL 103. This course studies a number of different theories of what constitutes being human. This course is interdisciplinary because it includes naturalistic, dialectical, and feminist points of view. It is also multicultural, because it encourages examination of philosophical perspectives from around the world. Among the questions raised are: Do human being have a (unique) nature? Do human beings have a (singular) destiny? Is there a divine being to which or to whom human beings are related? Will high technology computers be able to have conscious mental states? Are humans animals?
