The aim of this class is to turn you into an Aristotelian! The Aristotelian view of nature is often derided as simple-minded by students of the modern scientific revolution. In fact, it was a brilliant synthesis of much of the best natural philosophy before the modern era. The Aristotelian world-view is relentlessly rational and coherent and is in many respects the true foundation of modern science. It is also interesting and delightful in itself. P.S.: The Aristotelian world-view provides an excellent—and often amusing—way to explain the natural world to your younger grandchildren!

The treatment of prisoners of war is historically a very sad subject. Of all the Americans who have been held as POWs, few have had such bad treatment as those patriots held during the American Revolution. An estimated 25,000 Americans were captured as prisoners of war, with around 18,000 dying in captivity due to neglect and poor conditions. As we commemorate our 250th anniversary, it is important to understand these historical contexts that shed light on the broader implications of warfare and treatment of captured soldiers. The experiences of these POWs remain a poignant chapter in American history. Fred Boyles’ extensive knowledge of this part of the revolution will expand your understanding of our country’s history.

Although the feared 'AI apocalypse' has not yet taken away everyone’s job, artificial intelligence is becoming a more and more routine part of our daily lives. This class aims for an overall view of where AI is currently headed. How is AI likely to change our workforce, our economy, our politics and our culture? And how are our youth, the first generation to grow up in a conversational relationship with AI, likely to live differently?
