DR.
KORCZ'S COURSES FOR FALL 2013:
PHIL
111 Contemporary Moral Dilemmas
Does
what is
right or wrong just depend on what a person believes? or their
religious beliefs? or what? Is the death penalty morally permitted? Is
abortion? Is torturing animals morally right? Even if we kill and eat
them later? We'll examine both sides of these and other ethical issues.
No prerequisites or religious belief required.
PHIL
316 Professional Ethics
A
survey of issues in
the
ethics of business. No prerequisites.
PHIL 210 - Practical
Argumentation
Is
creationism true? How can people
believe
in parapsychology? UFO
abductions? psychic surgery and other quack
medicine?
We'll examine each of these issues and more in light of inductive logic
and the fundamental principles of scientific explanation. No
prerequisites.

PHIL
402 Metaphysics
What
is truth? Do humans have free will? Why does it matter? Do numbers
exist? If so, where are they? Does Sherlock Holmes smoke a pipe? If so,
why don't books about him ever catch fire? If not, did A. Conan Doyle
make a mistake? Do fictional characters exist? We'll examine these and
other issues in contemporary metaphysics.
