PHIL 208 Improv: Acting and Thinking Collectively 6 credits
In improv, performers spontaneously create characters and their relationships from which a narrative grows. This class will perform improv theater exercises and then use that performance perspective to help us better understand, or even challenge, different philosophies that focus on relationships. To let experience take the lead, half of our meetings will be taught by a local improviser. The other half of our meetings will be devoted to reflection on those experiences as well as discussion of complementary readings on relational world philosophies, including, but not limited to, Lakota, Stoic, and Daoist approaches.

PHIL 272 Early Modern Philosophy 6 credits
This is a course in global early modern philosophy. We will study the work of American Revolution era enslaved poet Phillis Peters, née Wheatley. Peters offers an account of how imagination works in our perception, and a reconciliation of evil given the assumption of a loving creator. In addition, we will analyze the writings of Im Yunjidang and Gang Jeongildang, Korean Neo-Confucians who focused on living well. Finally, we will read Margaret Cavendish’s natural philosophy and reply to European experimental philosophy. Throughout the course we will raise methodological issues, such as how the genre of a contribution impacts disciplinary categorization.
