PHIL - 215. Philosophical Perspectives on Diversity


3 credit(s)
The course examines the role that human differences such as race, ethnicity, gender, disabilities, sexual orientation, and class have in the philosophical conception of the human being from ancient to modern times. Among the themes that may be studied are master and slave, human and inhuman, being and non-being, the visible and the invisible, whiteness and darkness, male and female, the normal and the perverse. The course also wrestles with contemporary criticisms of binary thinking that divides the human family into an “us” and an “other”.

Prerequisite(s): PHIL 101  or PHIL 103 .
Attribute: ARTS, CFD, PCST
