An exploration of sites, conceptions, and representations of evil. Drawing examples from religion, myth, folklore, literature, film, visual culture and popular culture, evil will be considered as a culturally embodied phenomenon, requiring engagement, analysis, and response. In Winter 2017 we will be considering religious theories of evil; “radical evil;” psychological explanations of evil; and the banality of evil. In the second half of the course we will shift our focus to one of the many forms through which evil is represented, namely, “the monstrous.”

I'm >>8942813 this year, PhD'ing. Mostly Heidegger and Wittgenstein stuff now.

Good luck with the logic. I tried to learn it beyond basic pre-Frege stuff, and my method was basically
>read a comprehensive history (Kneale) + historical sourcebook (can't remember) of logic
>read some outdated but comprehensive logic book from the 70s recommended to me by a crazy person in the Annex
>spend my entire time trying to understand the "perspectival" epistemology/ontology of logic instead of just doing logic

Whenever I tried to speak about this stuff to hardcore analytic profs, they looked at me like I was politely asking to rape their daughters.

IMHO Heid+especially Witt abrogate formal logic entirely, or at least reduce it to a curiosity. Don't let analytics sour you on Wittgenstein, they never actually got him.

Very possible. Remember to visit Seekers while you're there, maybe at night.

I can't recommend anything at UofT since I only skirted the actual philosophy department (long story), but in hindsight it's a bit of a ghost town when it comes to continental thought. I would definitely take things into your own hands and not be bound by the course listings there.

If you take Heidegger, Dreyfus (major Heid scholar) has a podcast of his Berkeley lectures up on archive.org, with the syllabus on Berkeley's website. Both easily googled.

That kind of thing, plus a lot of self-directed reading and finding two or three profs who actually did the things I was interested in, saved my ass at UofT. It was just too narrow otherwise. When I look back and think of how many of my major interests stem from a random conversation with some dude, and how few of them stem from the actual course content at UofT, I get a feeling of anxiety. It's a great school in many ways, but it is also very narrow in a lot of places.

Use Hacker & Baker's commentary for Wittgenstein and start with the Philosophical Investigations, if you ever get into him. If you end up liking Heidegger, and especially Gadamer/Dilthey and hermeneutic phenomenology, Wittgenstein is great.

Sorry for the longposting.

Yeah you know way better than me. You've been going to Skrs way longer. What am I thinking.

I've been following Peterson pretty closely. I used to watch some of his lectures way back so I was like "oh shit" when I saw him debating that totalitarian tranny prof. The fucking godawful SJW Varsity was spazzing out about it for a while too, which was gratifying to watch.

God I am so glad to be away from that city and university. Candidly, it can be a real intellectual wasteland, man. Even pissant undergrad courses in the humanities/continental philosophy here are better than UofT grad courses.

Don't let it drag you down into being a fucking mediocrity. I have a feeling it's about to go through 10-20 years of hardcore sliding in prestige, and that several departments are dying or peaking. Mine certainly was. It banked too hard on the professionalization and progressivism memes, and the shit Peterson is describing, with OISE bureaucrats sucking it dry from the inside, is only just starting.

I think the most dead-on thing you could read would be first understanding the late Wittgenstein's views on logic (as "tautological," and a subset of grammar), and then reading about how he covered the "logical must," which is a great way of phrasing it - the logical must is the sense that an inference MUST hold under "indisputable" axiomatic conditions, and that this carries some kind of objective or ontological "power."

I've got a similar one.

A consideration of the beginning of American literature from Native American myths of origin and writings of Spanish, French, and English explorers through Washington Irving. We will read such authors as Cabeza de Vaca, William Bradford, Cotton Mather, Jonathan Edwards, Philis Wheatley, Mary Rowlandson, Franklin, Olaudah Equilano, Jefferson, Paine, Madison, and Charles Brocken Brown.

Hopefully it doesn't try being too much of a history class, and keeps well away from Central America. Not that those aren't interesting, but more that the description is already overreaching on topics from what it read a month ago.

Cool. I'm not looking forward to class mech, from what a professor told me it's just an amped-up physics I with autistically complex problems. Intro to modern and computational sound like good fun though.
I just finished diff eq and it might've been the hardest class I've taken, good luck with that. Your professor will make a huge difference, because they determine which of the wide range of categories of diff eqs the course covers. Every professor at tech picks slightly different chapters out of the textbook that they think are important. I also had to do a few things other profs didn't make their students do, like memorizing dozens of Laplace transformations instead of getting a table with all of them for exams. Fingers crossed that yours is good.

hmm we have to reach 60 credits and in our physics degree theres usually only 5 credit modules so we do 12 modules over the course of 2 semesters.

I agree though we have separate modules for optics, emag, thermo etc but that said I'm a physics student so we get to focus on physics a lot more and have the time to cover them separately. Required work per module varies, last semester the one with most mandatory hours had 5 hours, and min was 3 hrs. In terms of workload ive heard our professors aim to give us 40 hour weeks in terms of time spent studying, doing prolbem sets etc, and then in reality the average week is about a 50 hour week.

Do those numbers sound similar to yours?

You seem to be into the medieval/English stuff, so maybe you'll like 210 (17-18th)?

I take it you're doing philosophy and English (literature?)?

If you have Stang for when he's teaching Kant, that'll be an ordeal imo. He's a big Kantian - one of the entries for Kant in the Stanford Philosophy Encyclopedia was written by him and the whole thing was confusing for me, but hopefully you'll have a better time.

I actually wrote my first philosophical work in the previous semester, inspired with Anselm's ontological argument. I formally interpreted his arguments and the conclusion is: if God is possible, He exists. I used the other 2 types of arguments (cosmological and teleological) as corollaries that prove the rationality of the belief that God exists, because I reached the conclusion that the possibility of God's existence cannot be proved from the coherence of the notion of God. Hopefully I'll get a professor to read it, I'm actually proud at my work.

I'm thinking about finding work as a paralegal upon graduating to see if the work is something I'd enjoy, though ideally I'd like to focus on environmental and health law so I don't think paralegal work would allow me to experience anything in those fields

Great if you want to go to grad school (phd, just go to a state school if you intend on med school or law school etc...) or do a lot of drugs or both (though the drug use dying because the student body is obsessed with idpol--using cocaine is considered racist)

Great if you have gender issues or if gender issues are all you want to talk about.

Terrible otherwise, I guess. I spent a lot of time on leave and don't really interact with the student body anymore.

Yeah it seems to have gotten a bit worse every year. When I was a freshman 6 years ago that was almost never discussed. Nobody gave a shit what your gender identity was (nobody still does but reedies sure love playing the victim), and professors typically went out of the way to accomodate you. This was, of course, before it was hip to change your pronouns every couple of months.

Campus discussion was mostly arguing over whether "hard" drugs and "hard drug users" should be accepted or encouraged to leave the community.

Heroin, meth, coke etc... were much more prevalent then, I think. I don't do drugs anymore so I really don't know.

Not sure how it is in upper level humanities courses, but I get to avoid that stuff for the most part since I'm on the animal behavior/neuroscience side of psych. Idpol has me completely unwilling to take further courses in "softer" parts of psych though.

What other boards do you browse? I mostly stay on int and ck. Fit used to be popular amongst the like 10 total people who lifted weights when I first got there. I imagine mu and fa are big.

There's even a conservative in our class.

Didn't even think that was still a thing. We used to have a lot of libertarians from what I remember, but now I don't even hear arguing about economic models when it comes to politics.

That's good to hear though. The problem with psych is that it's supposed to be a science, but the idpol crowd doesn't treat it that way. Funny enough the most current gender dysphoria research is based off some paper a while ago that found scoring high on some autism scale in childhood was the best predictor of gender dysphoria later in adulthood. Gender dysphoria is also more common among autistic individuals. I believe the clinical psych prof in the past has had people yell at her for assigning some review of gender dysphoria research over time as being transmysoginistic. Most of these people usually realize they're being retarded when it's pointed out to them that gender dysphoria being in the DSM is the only reason insurance companies cover crap like hormone injections.

Man I love clinical psych, but the sort of person who takes that class does not like to support any of their opinions with empirical research. It's some sort of -ist if you insist that's necessary in a science.

>The whole Hum 110 racism thing has been a hot topic though I've not really kept up with it.
The animal behaviorist in the psych dept had us break racism down into associative learning the day kids skipped class due to racism or whatever (I'm not white either, wew, but I would never skip class). It was pretty good, mostly because he elaborated on some work by Ben-Ami Bartal et. al. that found rats of different strains won't release each other from a restraint unless they grew up in the same litter.

What in my post made you form that perception? I only asked what the law students' experience was like and stated where my interest in law lies.
I'm sorry I have a realistic outlook on the field of law and understand that unless I want to be a PD or work in family/personal injury law a school outside the T20 won't do much for me. Nothing against those that enjoy that work, but I don't think I'd find it very interesting.
I'm certainly not an over-achiever and I would be miserable surrounding myself with big-law-or-bust types. I could deal with 3 years of school with them, but a career...nah
