PHIL 115: Practical Reasoning

5 credits

Q/SR and I&S

Lecture: MWF 1:30-2:20 (sln: 18368)

T, TH quiz sections - the 2:30 (18371) and 3:30 (18375) ones have plenty of open seats.

In this course, students will learn a wide array of philosophical tools -- from informal logic to elementary decision theory -- that can be used to analyze the ethical and political arguments that we encounter everyday in the news and through social media. Students will also investigate the circumstances under which human behavior is predictably irrational and illogical. By learning when we are likely to behave irrationally, we can improve our own decision-making and avoid being manipulated by marketers, politicians, and other actors who might not always have our best interests in mind.

In light of the uncertain and swiftly changing situation regarding the coronavirus outbreak and the move to remote learning, the College has decided to move back the deadline for all the undergraduate and graduate scholarships that it oversees and which are listed on https://admin.artsci.washington.edu/advising/scholarship-information.

The new deadline is Wednesday, April 1st.  Please submit your applications/nominations via pdf to barbmack@uw.edu by 8 am on April 1, 2020.

Spring 2020 Online Courses in the Social Sciences

On-campus students at the University of Washington (Seattle) are invited to enroll on space-available basis in online courses offered by the Integrated Social Sciences program this Spring Quarter.  If you would like to enroll, here are some important things to know:

1. Enrollment is on a space-available basis during Period 3 (the first week of the quarter).  If the course is full, no overloads will be given.
2. You may not register using MyUW/MyPlan, but must call PCE registration at (206)543-2310 in order to request enrollment.
3. Because ISS is a fee-based program, your regular tuition will NOT cover the cost of an ISS course.
4. You may be able to apply your financial aid award to the cost of an ISS course, although the types and amounts of eligible aid may vary from one student to another.  Please check with...
