Syllabus & Course Schedule
To navigate the course, follow along with our schedule day-by-day below. We’ll post everything you need to know about the course here, including your readings, so no need to go anywhere else!
The objective of these courses is to give you a firm understanding of the relevant areas of intersection between biological sciences, ethics, and religious faiths. We are asking big questions about what it means to be human now and what humanity will look like in the future.
Because our approach this semester will be thoroughly interdisciplinary, the two courses in which you are enrolled, PHIL288E and BIOL395E, are completely linked. All points count towards both classes, so your final grades for both courses will be identical. Grades will be reported in Sakai.
Fiction texts for the semester
Our fiction books will provide a framework for all that we discuss this semester.
*any unabridged version of the texts below should be suitable for the course (paperback, eBook, audiobook, etc.) and are available from a wide variety of vendors, used and new, local and otherwise
You can find a reading guide for these texts that will be updated throughout the semester (along with content warnings) here!
