Philos 114 - John Stuart Mill: In this class, students will examine the core social and political philosophy of John Stuart Mill, one of the most influential thinkers of the nineteenth century and a foundational figure in modern liberalism. Through close reading of On Liberty (1859), Utilitarianism (1861), and The Subjection of Women (1869), students will explore Mill's defense of the limits of state power, individual freedom, individuality, gender equality, and social progress. Students will engage critically with Mill’s work, assess the strengths and limitations of his arguments, and consider their relevance to current debates. By the end of the course, students will have developed greater understanding of Mill's philosophical project and its enduring influence on modern political and moral thought.

Philos 232 - Narrative Coordination: What can be said about the meaning of “narratives” or “stories”? How do they coordinate people, when seen as what Liz Camp calls “frames,” “characterizations,” and “perspectives”? How do shared stories exploit or build social trust, compromising or enabling shared agency? Do standard theories of shared agency apply? And how might all of this bear on questions in political philosophy—of legitimacy, stability, and the possibility of progress? Special attention will be paid to problems in Rawls’s theory of justice.
