Additional Course Details: 

This semester, the artform is video games. Some might dismiss this as a trivial artform compared to established ones like literature, music, painting, and theater, but the same was said of films when they were new. Video games have come to be one of the dominant popular media and are deserving of philosophical reflection. Specifically, video games raise interesting questions about the relationships between real and virtual worlds, real and virtual identities. Aesthetic issues include: What is distinctive about interactive artworks? How do you engage with the virtual world? Are video games artworks at all? Why do we enjoy failing? Why do we care about fictional events? Ethical issues include: Is it morally wrong to enjoy virtual killing? Why is virtual killing acceptable but not other virtual acts? Can video games make us more empathetic? How do virtual acts carry over to how we behave in the real world?

Additional Course Details: 

This course will study the basic models of democracy, its essential concepts, criticisms of democracy and its future possibilities. This will include debates over the tension between individuality and community, the importance of citizenship, the abuse of power by majorities, the quality of democratic discourse, whether democracy can be seeded in other countries and whether democracy is itself a naïve or dangerous form of government. 

But we will not only study democracy – we will try to practice it as well. As the semester proceeds, the class will begin to embody democratic principles and practices. Therefore, this course is designed not just to provide knowledge of certain basic political concepts, or to provide general critical thinking skills, but also to help you become better democratic citizens.
