Course Description: This class is not intended to teach right from wrong, but explores “why” people think something is, or isn’t, and what they would have done. We will practice arguing heartfelt opinions without insult or defamation. We will begin with an overview of the general field of ethics, concentrating on two basic axes: whether the ends can justify the means, and whether exceptions can be made to ethical rules depending on circumstances. The next four sessions will compare debatable situations from two of those viewpoints, in turn. For the final class, each student will try to figure out their personal ethical style.

Course Description: Almost all of us encountered the poems of Keats in high school, and if any poetry spoke to us, it was likely to be his. However, I found myself re-reading them in middle age and finding that few of them said what I had thought they said. The texts of his poems, when augmented by pertinent extracts from his incomparable letters, reveal a darkly idiosyncratic and provocative content. I call the overall effect of them "Keats's Dharma." This course offers a feast of powerful ideas expressed in ravishing verbal music.
