Racism is a blight wherever it exists and calls for racial justice are still essential.This course aims to show how philosophy is integral to thinking through some major issues to do with race, racism, and racial justice today.In this course we will consider broad questions vital to understanding current racial issues.What is race? What is racism? How does intersectionality complicate our understanding of these questions? We will also consider more specific questions and particular issues around racial justice. Is racial profiling wrong? What should we think about affirmative action? Should there be reparations for (past?) racial injustices?

This new course will introduce students to logic, probability theory, decision theory, and argument analysis, and will teach them to apply those tools to philosophical issues including the limits of computation, the value of testimonial evidence, the problem of peer disagreement, the justification of probabilism, traditional vs Bayesian statistics, group coordination and responsibility, imprecise probability, and the rationality of voting. Students will also learn argument mapping, a technique for visually representing the structure of prose arguments that improves analytical reasoning.
