Spring 2025 - This class content was interesting but much more philosophical than I anticipated. I was originally very excited about this class but I was picturing a more historical approach and not straight up philosophy and papers evaluating different philosophical arguments. I would not recommend this class because the content and professor were boring, however it could be more interesting for someone who is very interested in philosophy. I also would not recommend TA Jing. He had rigid rules for participation that were more extreme than any other discussion I’ve been in, and was often rude to participating students in class. You were required to participate at least once every section but it wasn’t guaranteed that raising your hand and saying something would count because it had to be an original analysis and not just any participation.
