A study of works of literature that treats the themes of inquiry and discovery--its risks, its creativeness, its ambiguities and complexities, and its moral dilemmas--through selected works from literature and other media, including theater, music, visual arts, and film.

Research shows that an effective way to improve critical thinking is to make visual diagrams of arguments. This course uses a fun, evidence-based tool called MindMup. Using this tool, the course will help you discover hidden patterns among concepts where you once saw only confusing words. You will learn to identify each author's central contention, their reasons for defending it, and the rebuttals they offer t objections raised against it. By collaborating with others, you will learn how to decide for yourself whether an argument is sound by designing a practice exercise specific to your major. Restricted to students in the University Honors Program. To enroll in this course, you must first complete ThinkerAnalytix's course, How We Argue.

The link between race and intelligence has been a subject of discussion and debate in academic research since the creation and distribution of intelligence quotient (IQ) testing in the early 20th century. There is no widely accepted formal definition of either race or intelligence in academia. Discussions connecting race and intelligence involve studies from multiple disciplines, including psychology, anthropology, biology, and sociology. Techniques have been employed to support and justify beliefs in racism, racial inferiority, and racial superiority. Human populations have been classified into physically discrete human races that supposedly separate the superior and inferior. This course will examine race, membership, and eugenics and the impact on American society, as well as explore the scientific and social trends that supported the eugenics movement. Course restricted to University Honors Program students; others by permission of the UHP. R: Restricted to Students in the University Honors Program Typically offered in Fall and Spring

In this course students will be introduced to foundations of morality by exploring one of the most significant moral theories in the history of philosophy, Kantian ethics. The course will focus on Kant's ideas about morality and discuss his proof of the fundamental principles of ethics. Students will be introduced to some of the enduring moral questions, such as What ought I to do? What can I hope? Are there universal moral principles and whether I ought to follow them? They will learn a variety of approaches to ethical issues and their reflection in social and political reality.
Students in this seminar course actively explore human singularity: the properties, if any, that distinguish persons from animals and machines. Do we have souls? To what extent can we give physical explanations of our thoughts and actions? What, if anything, do scientific experiments tell us about our differences from chimps and artificial intelligences? What are the ethical implications of new biotechnologies? Should we be allowed to use genetic and neural engineering to change human nature? Students read articles, watch videos, stimulate class discussions with prepared questions, write short essays and a final paper, and participate in a 60-minute team presentation.
