PHL 010 Philosophy: Knowledge, Reality and Value Lect: 3 hrs. This course serves as an introduction to the Western outlook and to the principles of philosophical inquiry. The course will begin with classical Greek philosophy and will deal with such topics as the just society, the nature of human nature, education, problems as to the nature of knowledge, meanings of the term 'reality', the body-soul distinction, birth and death, deductive and inductive methods of reasoning, and the limits of human inquiry.
PHL 100 Philosophy: Philosophy of Design Lect: 3 hrs. This course considers the concept of design as both scientific and aesthetic. The first part of the course focuses on design in relation to concepts of form, function and beauty. It raises questions about orders, ontologies and aesthetics.

ICHPH301 - The Great Philosophers 211 ­ Philosophical Problems ­ This course is an introduction to the topic of personal identity as treated in the theory of knowledge and in metaphysics. Readings are contemporary and interdisciplinary. Topics include mind and body, memory, artificial intelligence, and cultural relativism. Speaking intensive. Three hours. Ms. Turney. 212 ­ Ethics ­ This course is an introduction to philosophy focused on ethical thinking. Its fundamental aim is to occasion the clarification of our thought concerning how to live, what sorts of persons to be, which kinds of actions and principles to affirm and which not in our relations to others. We will pursue this inquiry by reading classical texts, contemporary dialogues and essays on ethics, and decided cases in law. Our thinking about ethics will attend to three broad approaches to ethical situations: Utility, Rights and Duties, Virtue. Our discussion of these and other considerations will constantly attend to specific moral problems (e.g., abortion, sexual morality, affirmative action, animals, and the environment). Speaking intensive. Three hours. Mr. Beatty.

    The Realms of Legend This is the problem. American life uses a huge amount of resources, even more so now than indicated by this graphic. The majority of these resources are not reused or recaptured by our current approach to waste management. Recycling is on partially effective and is hampered by poor product design, spotty application, and approaches which require too much effort on the part of most people. This could be greatly reduced by a combined approach that uses recycling, better product design and materials use and recapture techniques and a more natural lifestyle. This approach can be a solid moral, social, ethical, environmental and financial asset to the project and our civilization. Thus greatly reducing human environmental impact and increasing the quality of life for every living thing on the planet in the process. One approach we favor is an integrated asset reutilization and recovery approach which recycles and reuses as many resources as possible and turns many potential liabilities into productive assets with a positive environmental impact. This makes human activity environmentally pro-active and a source for furthering and enhancing conditions for all life. Below is a diagram of a systems level flow chart or our intended approach as is currently in research and development. Positive Environmental Impact of Human Activity – Making it achievable.

    Description
    Trinity's mission as a Catholic college committed to the empowerment of women and to the advancement of social justice calls for an in-depth analysis of the ways in which philosophical ideas both contribute to and militate against the human flourishing of people of all genders, races, classes, and ethnic groups. The Program offers the opportunity for such analysis. The Program in Philosophy supports Trinity's Foundations for Leadership Curriculum by its emphasis on the interdisciplinary nature of human knowledge. The courses offered all emphasize the foundational assumptions of the traditional disciplines and examine the ways in which these assumptions are interrelated. The program also offers internships and practica that range from experiential learning opportunities with migrant workers in Apopka, advocacy for patient autonomy at St. Elizabeth's, implementation of subject-protection guidelines at the National Institute of Health, and work with various area hospitals' ethics committee. The Philosophy Program offers a minor in both the College of Arts and Sciences and the School of Professional Studies; students interested in pursuing an individualized minor in bioethics or environmental ethics should consult the Program Chair. The Program also supports all the College's majors and allows for students to construct an individualized or interdisciplinary major. Courses that meet FLC requirements may also count toward the minor.

    The Modern History of Computing
    Historically, computers were human clerks who calculated in accordance with effective methods. These human computers did the sorts of calculation nowadays carried out by electronic computers, and many thousands of them were employed in commerce, government, and research establishments. The term computing machine
    Babbage
    The Swedes Georg and Edvard Scheutz (father and son) constructed a modified version of Babbage's Difference Engine. Three were made, a prototype and two commercial models, one of these being sold to an observatory in Albany, New York, and the other to the Registrar-General's office in London, where it calculated and printed actuarial tables. Babbage worked closely with Ada Lovelace, daughter of the poet Byron, after whom the modern programming language ADA is named. Lovelace foresaw the possibility of using the Analytical Engine for non-numeric computation, suggesting that the Engine might even be capable of composing elaborate pieces of music.
