This course provides an investigation into the ways in which Catholicism is inherently social and ecclesial. Its specific focus is on the Christian engagement with the world. The course's framework will be taken from the analysis of society into three spheres of action (culture, politics, and economics) as described in Centesimus annus. We will examine the ways that Revelation, the sacramental life, and the teachings of the Church call Catholics to seek holiness and to witness to their faith in the world. Specific topics may include social and economic justice, politics and public policy, lay and religious apostolates, education, and marriage and family. Course materials may include resources from philosophy, theology, history, economics, and political science.

The focus of the course is to have you view the organization from the perspective of the president, rather than that of a manager of a particular function (e.g., VP of marketing).

This course is a comprehensive introduction to the most pressing issues and questions concerning disability. Students will encounter and critically evaluate longstanding stereotypes and biases about the disadvantages of disability. This course examines disability primarily from a philosophical perspective, yet readings from other disciplines will also be used throughout the course. Some of the central questions examined in the course include: What is disability? Is disability merely a medical condition? In what ways do societal barriers disable? How does economic class impact access to educational, medical and social resources? Does disability itself make a person worse off or is it only social stigmatization and lack of accommodation that makes the lives of those with disabilities worse? How have those with disabilities been disadvantaged in the US? What is the basis for human dignity? What conceptual frameworks allow us to uphold the dignity of those with severe disabilities? Which behaviors and assumptions threaten the equality and dignity of those with disabilities? Prerequisite: PHIL 110.

Action to achieve social justice depends, ultimately, on an understanding of what social justice is. What makes a society just? How is a just society ordered? What does social justice look like up close? If our society is not currently just, how may we justly make it so? This course considers competing (though sometimes overlapping) accounts of social justice that are of continuing relevance today, such as those found in the traditions of classical liberalism, socialism, Catholicism, and critical theory. One goal is to understand where such accounts agree, where they disagree, and why. Another goal is to appreciate how such traditions have animated and continue to animate the pursuit of justice, especially for marginalized persons in the United States. Prerequisite: PHIL 110

Is there a best type of government? Are there universal human rights and, if so, where do they come from? What are the respective roles of legislator, executive, and judge? Can civil disobedience ever be justified? Can violent revolution?

This course is a philosophical examination of the ethical challenges posed by artificial intelligence, including among other issues the introduction of bias into AI models. The course explores perspectives on AI ethics, such as consequentialist approaches that emphasize long-term impacts and virtue ethics approaches that emphasize AI's influence on human character and flourishing. Goals include analyzing these ethical frameworks as both arguments and cultural movements, drawing connections to the Catholic intellectual tradition, and applying them to real-world issues. Prerequisite: PHIL 110.

This course tracks two significant philosophical debates. The first debate holds between philosophical theists and philosophical atheists. The second holds between two different kinds of theists – traditional or classical theists (like Anselm, Aquinas, and their contemporary followers) and certain other contemporary theists who for various reasons wish to challenge aspects of the traditional conception of God. Topics to be addressed include arguments for God’s existence; how we arrive at the divine attributes; God’s immutability, simplicity, and eternity; the relationship between divine providence and human freedom; and the problem of evil. Prerequisites: PHIL 365, and at least 80 credits completed by the start of the course.
