The central questions of this course are:

Can humans know whether the claim "God exists" is true or not?
If so, how?
If not, why not?
Are these first three questions actually useful?
These questions have perplexed us since the first moment we were capable of asking them. Philosophy of Religion invites you to explore the questions of divine existence with the tools of epistemology, the branch of philosophy that concerns itself with what we can know.

In Professor James Hall, Chair of the Department of Philosophy at the University of Richmond, you have an unusually qualified teacher. The son of a Baptist minister (who himself later became a university professor), Professor Hall first trained at a seminary before taking his doctorate in philosophy and embarking on a teaching career nearly 40 years ago.

He announces early in the series where he stands on these issues; this is not a course with a hidden agenda, or an exercise in polemic. (And, no, we won't let the cat out of the bag here. The story of Professor Hall's own background and philosophical journey, which he shares with you in Lecture 3, is far too interesting for us to divulge.)

A formidable and influential work, Language and Death sheds a highly original light on issues central to Continental philosophy, literary theory, deconstruction, hermeneutics, and speech-act theory. Focusing especially on the incompatible philosophical systems of Hegel and Heidegger within the space of negativity, Giorgio Agamben offers a rigorous reading of numerous philosophical and poetic works to examine how these issues have been traditionally explored. Agamben argues that the human being is not just “speaking” and “mortal” but irreducibly “social” and “ethical.” Giorgio Agamben teaches philosophy at the Collиge International de Philosophie in Paris and at the University of Macerata in Italy. He is the author of Means without End (2000), Stanzas (1993), and The Coming Community (1993), all published by the University of Minnesota Press. Karen E. Pinkus is professor of French and Italian at the University of Southern California. Michael Hardt is professor of literature and romance studies at Duke University.

 

TTC - History of the U.S. Economy in the 20th Century
(10 lectures, 45 minutes/lecture)
Course No. 529
Taught by Timothy Taylor
Macalester College
M.Econ., Stanford University

When Professor Timothy Taylor, managing editor of the prestigious Journal of Economic Perspectives, tells you that the stock market crash of 1929 was not a substantial cause of the Great Depression and that F.D.R.'s New Deal may have actually slowed economic recovery, he speaks with authority and credibility.
Those are only two insights that run counter to common understanding of U.S. economic history. That history is far too interesting—and far too important to our future—to be dismissed with a few stock explanations.
Vital Economic Lessons of the Last Century
This fast-paced course introduces you to vital economic lessons learned in the last century to provide invaluable guidance for understanding the current economy.
Each of 10 lectures focuses exclusively on one decade to achieve a clear understanding of economic developments and outside influences on the U.S. economy.
In some cases, you examine well-defined events like the creation of the Federal Reserve or the war in Vietnam. In other lectures, you explore larger societal shifts, such as the evolving role of women in the economy and changing consumption patterns.  "Of course, knowing what happened in economic history does not offer easy answers to today's problems," states Professor Taylor. "Times change; the past rarely offers a perfect template for the present.  "But knowing the history does help discussions about the present to get off on the right foot, free of at least some of the myths and ignorance that can so easily lead us astray. As always in the study of history, knowing where you came from helps us to learn who you are and where you are."
Professor Taylor takes care to ensure that you can follow this course clearly regardless of your knowledge of economics.
He uses historical examples and quotes from economists and other notables, and his use of economic reasoning often brings surprising insight.
He is the editor-in-chief of the Journal of Economic Perspectives. At Stanford University he won the award for excellent teaching in a large class given by the Associated Students of Stanford University.
At the University of Minnesota, he was named a Distinguished Lecturer by the Department of Economics.

The Search for a Meaningful Past Philosophies, Theories, and Interpretations
TTC - Darren Staloff - The Search for a Meaningful Past Philosophies, Theories, and Interpretations
Course Number 427?16 lectures (45 minutes/lecture)
Taught by: Professor Darren Staloff?City College of New York
What is the point of history? What lessons can be drawn from it? How is history interpreted and understood? Is it an indicator of the future? Can it produce more than just stories?can it offer knowledge?
If these questions fascinate you as they have intellectuals of the last three centuries, then Professor Darren Staloff?s lectures are the spellbinding synthesis of relevant scholarly literature that you?ve been seeking.
This is not a course about dates and events, but one that presents key theories, interpretations, techniques, and visions of the past, leaving you free to select and apply a perspective you feel gives meaning to history.
Professor Staloff achieves this by examining the ideas of key thinkers from the last 275 years, taking each in turn and analyzing the contributions of each to our understanding of history. The result is a course that traces modern man?s struggle to comprehend his place in the world by unraveling the past.
