Outcome Statement: Students will be able to demonstrate understanding of the various approaches to the philosophical study of human culture and civilization. THIS COURSE AND THE UNIVERSITY CORE CURRICULUM  Knowledge Area(s) satisfied:Societal and Cultural Knowledge, Philosophical KnowledgeSkill(s) Developed:Critical Thinking Skills and DispositionsValues Requirement(s) satisfied:Understanding and Promoting Justice, Understanding Spirituality or Faith in Action in the World CORE LEARNING OBJECTIVES  First Knowledge Area (Societal and Cultural Knowledge):  Loyola graduates should be able to: (a) Demonstrate an understanding of the relationships among cultural, economic, political, and social forces, and their impact on human behavior. (b) Demonstrate an awareness that human values and behavior, ideas of justice, and methods of interpretation are influenced by culture and time. (c) Differentiate among historical and contemporary perspectives about the world with a view to fashioning a humane and just world. (f) Demonstrate an understanding of how our individual self concepts form as a complex interaction of the biological, familial, societal, and cultural contexts in which we develop. Second Knowledge Area (Philosophical Knowledge):  Loyola graduates should be able to: (a) Demonstrate an understanding of major philosophical questions with careful attention to the historical and conceptual development of these questions and to the contributions they make to human understanding. (b) Articulate some of the major problems and responses central to philosophical inquiry, including questions concerning truth and knowledge, reality, and moral values and social justice. (c) Demonstrate an understanding of the importance of philosophical inquiry for examining and assessing the theoretical foundations and assumptions underlying major disciplines of knowledge. (This course focuses squarely on questions in the knowledge area of "social and political philosophy.") (d) Demonstrate the ability to provide reasoned argument in support of their ideas, to assess judiciously the underlying assumptions of their positions, and to provide fair and reasonable evaluations of alternative positions. (This competency outlines the "critical thinking" central to every philosophy course. It is also addressed under the "skills" section.) Skills (Critical Thinking Skills and Dispositions): Students will be able to (a) Read and interpret philosophical texts, demonstrating their comprehension by their ability to explain them when asked to do so, either in examinations, essays or other format (b) Analyze relationships among concepts and claims made in these philosophical texts (or among philosophical ideas and positions developed in class) and distinguish among even subtly differing philosophical positions (c) Evaluate the strengths and weaknesses among the varying points of view they will encounter. It is of the essence of philosophical inquiry, of course, that such diversity of viewpoint be developed within the context of every philosophy course and be presented to students precisely as a means of enhancing their ability to evaluate in this way (d) Not only grasp the concepts, positions and arguments of the viewpoints they encounter, but to develop their own points of viewa process that encourages the exercise of their own imagination, resources and creativity by requiring them to strike out on their own (e) Examine both their own philosophical positions and those of others with balance and a critical eye, weighing reasons for and against, examining them and defending them with arguments of their own devising (f) Examine not only the arguments they put forward in this way, but also be aware of the motivation behind those arguments through critical selfreflection. First Values Area (Understanding and Promoting Justice):  Loyola graduates should be able to: (a) Demonstrate an understanding of diverse fields of intellectual thought regarding ideal and actual societies and the goals, values, virtues, and conceptions of justice. (The contrast between "actual" and "ideal" societies is the focus of this course. We will not be able to distinguish between what we ARE and what we OUGHT to be if we do not understand the nature of society, human culture & civilization and, most importantly, of what it is that we CAN become.) (b) Analyze and appraise the functions and impacts of specific social practices, organizations, and policies established in the name of social justice. (c) Articulate a personal philosophy of responsibility to promote a more just and humane society within a sustainable global environment. (d) Recognize the challenges and opportunities offered by scientific, technological, and industrial developments, as well as population trends, and their implications for us as engaged national and global citizens. (e) Develop a broad understanding of the origins and characteristics of issues relating to economic, political, and social injustice and their effects on humanity and the environment. Second Values Area (Understanding Spirituality or Faith in Action in the World): Loyola graduates should be able to: (a) Demonstrate knowledge of and capacity to articulate the foundations of one's own and others' beliefs or faith traditions. (b) Demonstrate how faith traditions or belief systems have been or can be related to intellectual and cultural life. (c) Develop an ability to reflect upon the applications of one's beliefs or faith traditions to decisions in one's personal, professional, and civic life. PROCEDURES  Full Course Description: This course examines the nature, causes, and possible future development of human culture and civilization, asking such questions as: In what way does civilization enhance and/or restrict basic desires and instincts? How does the emergence of culture and civilization relate to distinctively human cognitive abilities? Do the various forms of civilized culture, such as art, religion, philosophy, politics and science share some common aim, and if so, is this aim consistent with enlightenment and progress or might it conceal a less progressive, more hidden, motivation? Finally, how shall we attain a more humanized and fulfilling form of culture and civilization and what respective roles shall political and personal/psychological factors play in this transformation? Authors whose views are relevant to these questions include philosophers such as Plato, Kant, Marx and Nietzsche as well as non-philosophers such as Darwin and Freud. Required and Recommended Readings:  Course Requirements:  Grading Policy:  Attendance Policy:  Statement on Plagiarism:  Plagiarism on the part of a student in academic work or dishonest examination behavior will result minimally in the instructor assigning the grade of "F" for the assignment or examination. In addition, all instances of academic dishonesty must be reported to the chairperson of the department involved. The chairperson may constitute a hearing board to consider the imposition of sanctions in addition to those imposed by the instructor, including a recommendation of expulsion, depending upon the seriousness of the misconduct. Special Needs: Any student needing a special accommodation in this course due to a documented disability is asked to bring this to the attention of the instructor at the beginning of the semester so that needs can be appropriately addressed. Course Schedule:  Date Topic Readings Due Dates This template is ONLY for this course. Dont use it for any other course since the first part (about the Core Curriculum requirements) is different for each core course and of course doesnt apply to non-core courses at all. The following Short Description and Outcome Statement are taken from the Core Curriculum guidelines and should not be changed. For details go to  HYPERLINK "http://www.luc.edu/core/philosophicalcourses.shtml" http://www.luc.edu/core/philosophicalcourses.shtml and scroll down.  The following box is taken from the Core Curriculum guidelines and should not be changed.  The following objectives unpack the Outcome Statement given at the beginning of this page. You do not need to list all of these objectives nor do you need to use this exact wording. But you must select some of these objectives and explain them in a way that is consistent with the text shown here, which is taken from the Core Curriculum guidelines. As with the first Knowledge Area objectives (previous section) you may revise the wording of this and the following sections. However, you must select at least some of the categories shown here.  See previous comment.  See previous comment.  See previous comment.  From this point on the syllabus corresponds to what the Core Curriculum guidelines call Learning Activities. The subheadings and other layout features are optional, but you should cover in one way or another the points shown here, not only because your students have a right to this information but also because doing so will make your own life much easier.  This description is taken from the Core Curriculum Model Syllabus for this course. You should replace it with your own text, making sure that it's consistent with the general ideas shown here.  You need not give full bibliographical information about books that are available in the bookstore unless you expect students to order some books online. Indicate if you plan to use a Blackboard web site.  Here you should specify things like term papers, midterms, or oral presentations. Be sure that these and other course requirements are linked clearly in your own mind to the outcome statement and learning objectives you have specified in the first part of this syllabus. This will make grading much easier for you.  Your tests and other evaluative procedures must include assessment of the objectives you have specified above for the core headings of Knowledge Area, Skills, and (where applicable) Values. The more precise you can be on this matter the better, especially when you are explaining to students why they received a certain grade. You should also indicate here or elsewhere how the final grade is determined (final exam is 60%, etc.) Note that you are subject to legitimate complaints if you change your grading system after the course begins.  Many teachers require attendance. If you do so, be sure to link attendance very explicitly to a Participation component that counts toward the final grade.  This sample statement is taken from the university web site on Academic Integrity (http://www.luc.edu/academics/catalog/undergrad/reg_academicintegrity.shtml), which also has other important information you might want to incorporate into your syllabus. Citing this statement is only one of many ways to anticipate plagiarism problems, but be sure to declare some policy so that students caught cheating cannot say they weren't warned.  You are required by law (and human decency) to accommodate individuals whose disabilities are documented in the Learning Assistance Center. Many universities require every syllabus to contain a statement such as the one shown here. You may want to refer disabled students to  HYPERLINK "http://www.luc.edu/depts/lac/disabilities" http://www.luc.edu/depts/lac/disabilities .  Many teachers circulate their course calendars separately from the syllabus. Note that you would do well to indicate that your calendar is Tentative so that students cannot complain if you find it necessary to make changes. !"#$'3456u|}~zl^PB+,jh+ h/0J<CJOJQJUaJh+ h{ v5OJQJaJh+ hi5OJQJaJh+ hvW5OJQJaJh+ h&5OJQJaJ,jh+ hq0J<CJOJQJUaJh+ h(=5CJ(OJQJaJ(h+ h*5CJ(OJQJaJ(h+ hBt5CJ(OJQJaJ(h+ hi5CJ(OJQJaJ(h+ hi5CJ0OJQJaJ0h+ hBt5CJ0OJQJaJ0h+ h5OJQJaJ46CKZetu} $$Ifa$gd^gdm$a$gd1 gdm dd1$[$\$gdF dd1$[$\$gdBtgdBt$a$gd{ v $ Ha$gdi H&66~ ( < g   ѻѨ~pppf\OG?h+ hm>*h+ hi>*h+ h$OJQJaJh$OJQJaJhmOJQJaJh+ hBt5OJQJaJ,jh+ h/0J<CJOJQJUaJh+ hi5CJh+ h1 CJ$h+ hFB*OJQJaJhph333*h+ hBt5B*OJQJ\aJhph333$h+ hBtB*OJQJaJhph333h+ hBtOJQJaJh+ h{ v5OJQJaJ ' ( < f {o $$Ifa$gd^zkd$$Ifl0,"| t0644 la $Ifgd^f g xo $Ifgd^ $$Ifa$gd^zkd_$$Ifl0,"| t0644 la  A g h  zzupppppgdc6gdmgdmgdmzkd$$Ifl0,"| t0644 la     4 A B  ACvwx,/0,-ĻĻᲛye'jh+ hg+0J<CJUaJh'jh+ hZ0J<CJUaJh h+ h% h+ hg+h+ hmCJmHnHuh+ hmCJh+ hg+CJh+ hc6CJ*jh+ hZ0J5<CJUaJh h+ hc6 h+ hm-jh+ h/0J5<>*CJUaJh' ABCxEzV/UV)gdg+gdmgdmgdc6K",QRH"""""" # #!###$a$gdi &d P gdg+gdmgdg+  """"""""""" # # #!#"#վյseWsFss!h+ h iB*OJQJaJphh+ h&5OJQJaJh+ h(=5OJQJaJ,jh+ h i0J<CJOJQJUaJh+ hsy5OJQJaJh+ hg+CJ'jh+ h0J<CJUaJhh+ h{ vCJ,jh+ hZ0J<CJOJQJUaJh+ hi5OJQJaJh+ h{ v5OJQJaJh+ hvW5OJQJaJ"###<#=#>#N%O%P%_%`%C&D&V&W&X&Z&|&&&&&&&''ǺΒ΅vj^jOjhu.h/0J5Uhu.hu.5OJQJhu.hq5OJQJjhu.hq0J5Uh+ hvWOJQJaJh+ h(=OJQJaJh+ h(=5OJQJaJhMNh(=OJQJaJhMNhMNOJQJaJ hMNhMN,jh+ h~/0J<CJOJQJUaJh+ hvW5OJQJaJh+ hsyOJQJaJ##O%P%C&D&E&W&Y&Z&_&`&f&g&p&q&{&:$If d$If^ Hgd(= ``^``dgd(={&|&}&~&&&:$Ifokd$$IfTx\$*2 $ 4 xaT&&&&&&s `@ :$If^@ `:$Ifokd$$IfTx\$*2 $ 4 xaT&&&&&&:$Ifokdw$$IfTx\$*2 $ 4 xaT&&&&&&:$Ifokd$$IfTx\$*2 $ 4 xaT&&&&&&s `@ :$If^@ `:$Ifokd$$IfTx\$*2 $ 4 xaT&&&&&&:$Ifokdw$$IfTx\$*2 $ 4 xaT&&&&&&:$Ifokd$$IfTx\$*2 $ 4 xaT&&&&&&s `@ :$If^@ `:$Ifokd$$IfTx\$*2 $ 4 xaT&&&&&&:$Ifokdw$$IfTx\$*2 $ 4 xaT&&&&&&:$Ifokd$$IfTx\$*2 $ 4 xaT&&&&'()m)q*5+M+e+}+,-gdg+ Hokd$$IfTx\$*2 $ 4 xaT'"('((()(i(j(k(((((((())m)n)ͣⓄvdQE4!jhu.hZ0JOJQJUhu.h/5OJQJ$jhu.h/0J5OJQJU#hu.h/5CJOJQJ^JaJhu.h/5OJQJ^Jjhu.h/0J5Uhu.h/5CJOJQJaJ#hu.ha0J5CJOJQJaJ.jwhu.ha5CJOJQJUaJ(jhu.ha5CJOJQJUaJha5CJOJQJaJhu.ha5CJOJQJaJn)q*r*~******++5+6+M+N+e+f+}+~++,,,}m]mF,jh}`xh0J5CJOJQJUaJhu.h5CJOJQJaJhu.hZ5CJOJQJaJh}`xhg+5CJOJQJaJ,jh}`xhg+0J5CJOJQJUaJhu.hZ5OJQJ^J%jhu.hZ0JOJQJU^Jh%5OJQJhQv5OJQJhc65OJQJ$jhu.hZ0J5OJQJUhu.hZ5OJQJ,,,----z.{.|.}.////111262z2¯tk_SG;Ghu.h~/5OJQJhu.h i5OJQJhMNh i5OJQJhMNhMN5OJQJhMN5OJQJ,jh}`xh i0J5CJOJQJUaJh}`xh i5CJOJQJaJh}`xh`5CJOJQJaJh`$jhu.h i0J5OJQJUhMNh5CJOJQJaJhMNhMN5CJOJQJaJhMN5CJOJQJaJh}`xh5CJOJQJaJ-{./1z2/4F55666666gd^gd` z2{2|22.4/40414x444450585F5G5S5|5~5555555556666k]YUQhh(=hNh>?h^0J5OJQJ&j h>?h^5OJQJUhmh^5OJQJjh^5OJQJUh}`x5OJQJh^5OJQJhu.h^5OJQJhu.h~/5OJQJhMNh~/5OJQJhMNhMN5OJQJhN5OJQJhMN5OJQJ$jhu.h~/0J5OJQJU666h+ hvWOJQJaJhvW/0PBP/ =!"#$%]$$If!vh5|5#v|#v:Vl t65|5]$$If!vh5|5#v|#v:Vl t65|5]$$If!vh5|5#v|#v:Vl t65|5$$If!vh5*552 5$ #v*#v#v2 #v$ :V x5*552 5$ /  / 44 xT$$If!vh5*552 5$ #v*#v#v2 #v$ :V x5*552 5$ / 44 xT$$If!vh5*552 5$ #v*#v#v2 #v$ :V x5*552 5$ / 44 xT$$If!vh5*552 5$ #v*#v#v2 #v$ :V x5*552 5$ /  / 44 xT$$If!vh5*552 5$ #v*#v#v2 #v$ :V x5*552 5$ / 44 xT$$If!vh5*552 5$ #v*#v#v2 #v$ :V x5*552 5$ / 44 xT$$If!vh5*552 5$ #v*#v#v2 #v$ :V x5*552 5$ /  / 44 xT$$If!vh5*552 5$ #v*#v#v2 #v$ :V x5*552 5$ / 44 xT$$If!vh5*552 5$ #v*#v#v2 #v$ :V x5*552 5$ / 44 xT$$If!vh5*552 5$ #v*#v#v2 #v$ :V x5*552 5$ /  / 44 xT$$If!vh5*552 5$ #v*#v#v2 #v$ :V x5*552 5$ / 44 xTADyK 3http://www.luc.edu/core/philosophicalcourses.shtmlyK fhttp://www.luc.edu/core/philosophicalcourses.shtmlDyK *http://www.luc.edu/depts/lac/disabilitiesyK Thttp://www.luc.edu/depts/lac/disabilitiesL@L Normal1$CJOJQJ_HhmH sH tH DA@D Default Paragraph FontVi@V  Table Normal :V 44 la (k(No List <&< Footnote Reference:O: Level 10^`06U@6 (= Hyperlink >*B*phB'@!B Comment ReferenceCJaJ8@28  Comment TextCJ@j12@ Comment Subject5\H@RH  Balloon TextCJOJQJ^JaJlObl mHeadline$7$8$H$a$/5B*CJKH \^J_HaJmH phsH tH <Or< mtext1$CJOJQJaJh\O\ mSection Header$a$5>*CJ_HaJmH sH tH j@j m Table Grid7:V0<O< m Requirement$a$>*^^@^ { v Normal (Web)dd1$[$\$B*OJQJaJhph333*W@* { vStrong5\FV@F BtFollowedHyperlink >*B* ph.
