This course will focus on a handful of epistemic challenges to morality. We will consider questions such as: How is moral knowledge possible? Can we gain moral knowledge from testimony? What are the implications of the prevalence of moral disagreement? Do our evolutionary origins pose a challenge to our moral beliefs?

Illustrations are all around us, in picture books, scientific texts, fine art editions of books, magazines, and in the pockets of airline seats. Yet there is little philosophical discussion about what constitutes an illustration. In this seminar, we will approach the topic of illustration through both theory and practice. There will be readings, viewings, and studio sessions. Participants will be expected to take part in this approach, producing both theoretical and studio work.

We will examine the feasibility of converting the entire energy infrastructure of the US from one that is dependent on fossil fuels to one that utilizes mostly renewable sources of energy. We will examine the potential scale of energy production and the associated costs, natural resource requirements and land usage needs for both renewables, such as solar, wind and biofuel, and non-renewables, such as coal, natural gas, petroleum and nuclear.
