    5. Arguments for the existence of the soul, Part III: Free will and near-death experiences

    Death (PHIL 176) Professor Kagan discusses in detail the argument of free will as proof for the existence of an immaterial soul. The argument consists of three premises: 1) We have free will. 2) Nothing subject to determinism has free will. 3) All purely physical systems are subject to determinism. The conclusion drawn from this is that humans are not a purely physical system; but Professor Kagan explains why this argument is not truly compelling. In addition, near-death experiences and the Cartesian argument are discussed at length. 00:00 - Chapter 1. The Dualist's Stance on Free Will and the Soul's Existence 04:57 - Chapter 2.

    15. Marilynne Robinson, Housekeeping

    The American Novel Since 1945 (ENGL 291) Professor Hungerford situates Marilynne Robinson's novel Housekeeping (1980) in a tradition of American writing about the individual's relationship to nature that includes the powerful influences of the Bible, Herman Melville, and Ralph Waldo Emerson. The loss of identity that Emerson describes as becoming a "transparent eyeball" in the woods, Robinson brings into the realm of the home, the built environment. The individual voice and its guiding consciousness are all mixed up in the material substance of the world, giving them a concurrent fixity and fragility that it is Robinson's talent, and our challenge, to explore. 00:00 - Chapter 1. Names and Introductions: My Name is Ruth 10:09 - Chapter 2. Crafting Social Worlds: The Communal and the Singular 20:14 - Chapter 3. Permeable Identity: Anonymity and Ghostliness 31:03 - Chapter 4.

    21. Other bad aspects of death, Part II

    Death (PHIL 176) Further bad aspects of death are considered, including ubiquity, or the fact that death may occur at any time and strike anyone. Professor Kagan invites students to contemplate the possibility of death-free time periods, vacation spots, and activities. Then there is consideration of the value of the human condition, which consists of life, followed by death. Finally, the question is raised as to whether it could be appropriate to refuse to face the facts about our mortality. Professor Kagan distinguishes between two ways in which thinking about these could influence human behavior. On the one hand, it may give one the reason to behave differently; on the other hand, it may just cause a change in behavior. 00:00 - Chapter 1. How Much Time Do We Have Left? 07:00 - Chapter 2. The Ubiquity of Death 16:17 - Chapter 3. What is the Value of Life with Death? Positive and Negative Interaction Effects 27:59 - Chapter 4.

    14. What matters (cont.); The nature of death, Part I

    Death (PHIL 176) The suggestion is made that what matters in survival is the future existence of someone with a personality similar to one's own.

    25. Students' Choice Novel: Jonathan Safran Foer, Everything is Illuminated (cont.)

    The American Novel Since 1945 (ENGL 291) In her final lecture of the course, Professor Hungerford evaluates Jonathan Safran Foer's Everything is Illuminated with respect to one of her areas of expertise, American writing about the Holocaust. She points out how the novel takes on some of the questions of trauma theory in its examination of both the pain and the healing power of repetition. The most innovative characteristic of Foer's novel is, for Hungerford, the way it addresses the inheritance of the Holocaust for third-generation Jews in America. The novel finds new ways to provide witness for and connection to their grandparents' experiences in Europe, but also displaces a traditional Holocaust discovery narrative from the Jewish child of survivors to the Eastern European grandchild of those complicit in the destruction of shtetl life. 00:00 - Chapter 1. How to Define a Period of Literature: Locating Foer's Significance 05:57 - Chapter 2. Trauma Theory and the Holocaust: Foer's Use of the Witness 16:40 - Chapter 3.

    Death (PHIL 176) Two more views regarding the metaphysical key to personal identity are discussed: the body view and the personality view.

    America at 250: A History, DeVane Lecture, Class 8 – Jacksonian "Democracy”

    Jeffersonian Republicans to the rise of Jackson populism. Professor Joanne Freeman discusses the impact of the election of 1800 and more. This lecture was recorded in Yale’s Sprague Hall. This one-time-only course examines U.S. history from 1776 to the present, in advance of the nation’s semiquincentennial (or 250th birthday) in 2026. Taught jointly by Professors Joanne Freeman, David Blight, and Beverly Gage, the course emphasizes the history of the nation-state and the contested nature of American national identity. All three scholars will deliver the course’s first and final lectures together, as an introduction and a wrap-up. In between, they will each deliver eight lectures individually based on their areas of expertise. Joanne Freeman, the Alan Boles, Class of 1929 Professor of History and American Studies, and an expert in the revolutionary and early national periods of American history, will cover the period from the Revolution up through the 1830s, touching on such topics as the birth of party politics, the nature of “Jacksonian democracy,” and the rise of the reform and protest movements. David Blight, Sterling Professor of History and African American Studies and one of the country’s foremost authorities on the history of slavery and the Civil War, will cover the Civil War era up through Reconstruction and the emergence of the Jim Crow laws. Beverly Gage, John Lewis Gaddis Professor of History, who is currently writing a book on the nation’s past to mark the 250th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence, will pick up in the 1890s and continue through the end of the 20th century, addressing debates around immigration, wealth inequality, and the creation of the social welfare state. The course explores U.S. political history broadly conceived–not just as a realm of presidents and elections and wars (though there will be plenty of those) but as a conversation across time between citizens about what the United States is, was, and was meant to be. It proceeds from the premise that the American Revolution was the first but not the last radical act of national reimagining in U.S. history.
