Addressing legacies of pervasive human rights and humanitarian law violations is essential to breaking cycles of violence. But trying to render justice for victims of mass atrocity and violations raises large conceptual and practical difficulties, particularly when a states political balance is delicate, society is divisive, prevailing narratives of the past are irreconcilable, resources are limited, and international actors get involved. Transitional justice has emerged as an approach to achieving justice in these complex settings, when states are emerging from conflict and authoritarian rule. This course is designed to provide students with an introductory understanding of transitional justice theory and the challenges faced when applying that theory in real contexts of transition to address legacies of mass human rights and humanitarian law violations. The course is based on the Socratic teaching method, which requires student participation in class discussion. Students are expected to read assignments before coming to class. In addition to lectures and class discussions, a range of experiential and participatory learning methods will be employed, including group projects, presentations, and role plays. All instruction, discussions, assignments, and examinations, including all student input, will be conducted in English. College of Law JAMES KENG-HUI LIN LAW5357 1

Donald Davidson (1917-2003) is arguably the most influential philosopher in the second half of the 20th century, specializing in metaphysics, the philosophy of language, the philosophy of mind, and some other related field. Surprisingly, he did not publish any single monograph, apart from some collections and a variety of essays. Each of his classical essays appears to be individually developed and seems to be fascinating and invaluable on its very own. It is striking that when and only when they are drawn together there emerges a compelling whole picture of man as a rational animal (presumably the only rational animal in this world). According to Davidson, the thoughts of human being should never be reducible to the material. Nonetheless, thoughts are components of the reality. Moreover, he classifies our knowledge into three distinct categories, including knowledge of our own mind, knowledge of the minds of others, and knowledge of the external world. And having knowledge of these categories are so fundamental to the nature of human being as the power of thought and speech itself. Davidson’s philosophical program can be roughly organized around two connected projects. The first is that of understanding the nature of human agency. The second is that of understanding the nature and function of language, and its relation to the world. Accordingly, the first part of this course will focus on Davidson’s investigation of reasons, causes, and intentions, which revolutionized the philosophy of action. This leads to his notable doctrine of anomalous monism, the view that all mental events are physical events, but that the mental cannot be reduced to the physical. The second part of this course focus on his philosophy of language. We shall study several famous essays in which Davidson set out his highly original and influential truth-conditional program of meaning theory and the role the very concept of truth plays in the theory of meaning and the philosophy of language in general. The course intends to offer a survey of the philosophy of Donald Davidson so that students can grasp, on the one hand, the development of the philosophy of language in the 20th century from Frege to Davidson, and on the other hand, the Davidsonian account of action. Davidson’s main theses will be formulated as clearly as possible and his arguments will be explicated. His original essays will be studied and common criticisms will be reexamined. I hope this course would be able to pave a road for the student not only to advanced study of Davidson’s works, but also to the study of philosophy of language, philosophy of action, and metaphysics in general.

John Searle was born in 1932. He is an American philosopher, and he has contributed on topics such as speech acts, philosophy of language, intentionality, philosophy of mind, consciousness, and social reality. In this course we will read his book of 2001, entitled “Rationality in Action.” The book has 298 pages, but it is very generously printed. It is a short book. Searle is a very good writer, very accessible, and clear. He is very much down to earth. On the cover the book is introduced as follows: “The study of rationality and practical reason, or rationality in action, has been central to Western intellectual culture. In this invigorating book, John Searle lays out six claims of what he calls the Classical Model of rationality and shows why they are false. He then presents an alternative theory of the role of rationality in thought and action. A central point of Searle’s theory is that only irrational actions are directly caused by beliefs and desires — for example, the actions of a person in the grip of an obsession or addiction. In most cases of rational action, there is a gap between the motivating desire and the actual decision making. The traditional name for this gap is “freedom of the will.” According to Searle, all rational activity presupposes free will. For rationality is possible only where one has a choice among various rational as well as irrational options. Unlike many philosophical tracts, Rationality in Action invites the reader to apply the author’s ideas to everyday life. Searle shows, for example, that contrary to the traditional philosophical view, weakness of will is very common. He also points out the absurdity of the claim that rational decision making always starts from a consistent set of desires. Rational decision making, he argues, is often about choosing between conflicting reasons for action. In fact, humans are distinguished by their ability to be rationally motivated by desire-independent reasons for action. Extending his theory of rationality to the self, Searle shows how rational deliberation presupposes an irreducible notion of the self. He also reveals the idea of free will to be essentially a thesis of how the brain works. The students will learn about rationality and how it has a place in our lives. They will learn how to analyze arguments, assumptions, and positions, how to write summaries, and how to develop and present their own views in discussion and in writing. They will improve their English. The course will be taught in English. College of Liberal Arts non CHRISTIAN HELMUT WENZEL Thursday ABC Phl7782 3

Ever since Bertrand Russell, logic is not merely to be taken as the study of correct reasoning – checking the validity of arguments and/or vindicating the legitimacy of the process of reasoning, so as to produce more truth. ‘Logic is fundamental in philosophy’, to put in Russell’s words. In particular, the development of modal logic equipped with Kripke models since the middle of the 20th century has expand the scope of axiomatization (of a logical theory) to cover a variety of philosophical issues/topics, e.g. metaphysical modality, knowledge and belief, time, and some others. It is them tempting for philosophers to illustrate some philosophical concepts by virtue of proposing certain appropriate theses which can be further theorized as some sort of logical systems. At present, a large family of so called non-classical logics have been well established, such as logics of metaphysical modality (including necessity and possibility), epistemic logics (including knowing and believing and some other epistemic attitudes), temporal logic, logic of justification, to mention a few. Following along this approach, in Modal Logic as Metaphysics (Oxford University Press, 2013), Timothy Williamson proposes an axiomatization of some main metaphysical doctrines, taken as modal truths of some sort, in a well-constructed framework of higher order modal logic, and argues that the resulting axiomatization, taken as a whole, can be treated as a theory of metaphysics. Williamson rejects the search for a metaphysically neutral logic as futile. Instead, he holds a positive path in searching for satisfactory answers to some noticeably metaphysical questions on the basis of an integrated approach to the issues under investigation, applying the technical resources of modal logic to provide structural cores for metaphysical theories. As is well-known, a variety of issues/debates/problems involving metaphysical modality have been playing a dominating part not only in metaphysics but also in philosophical logic since the second half of the twenty century. Questions of this kind raise deep issues about both the nature of being and its logical relations with contingency and change. In Modal Logic as Metaphysics, Williamson offers detailed historical discussions of how the metaphysical issues emerged in the twentieth century development of quantified modal logic, through the work of a group of distinguished philosophers/logicians, such as Rudolf Carnap, Ruth Barcan Marcus, Arthur Prior, and Saul Kripke. Williamson proposes a kind of higher-order modal logic as a new setting in which such metaphysical questions can be dealt with scientifically, by the construction of systematic logical theories embodying rival answers and their comparison by normal scientific standards. The book also contains some of Williamson’s original and precise treatments of a wide range of topics: the relation between logic and metaphysics; the methodology of theory choice in philosophical theorization, the nature of possible worlds and their role in semantics, plural quantification vs. quantification into predicate position, communication across metaphysical disagreement, and problems for truth-maker theory. It is striking that the book deserves a serious study and examination for any students who are interested in modal logic, metaphysics, philosophical logic, and the development of analytic philosophy. College of Liberal Arts The course is essentially at advanced level. The student should have a fully understanding of first-order logic (including propositional logic and predicate logic, both semantically and syntactically), a nodding acquaintance with quantificational modal logic and higher order logic, and preferably some background knowledge about the basic metaphysical issues involved in possible world semantics and modality, typically necessity and possibility. Every week, a paper or a chapter in a text book will be assigned; all students should send in a summary (about two pages, but no more than 4 pages) of the assigned paper/chapter. A student will, in turn, give a presentation (about 30-60 minutes), a summary of the assigned paper/chapter in character. By the end of semester, a long essay (no lesser than 2000 words) is required.

Course Description Insects made their first debut on earth 480 million years ago, and have been long interacted with humans. This course will give a general introduction, and clarify common misunderstandings of these six-legged creatures. Field trips to NTU campus, the NTU Insectarium, and Fuyang Ecological Park will be arranged for students to observe insects commonly found in open environments, and learn how to recognize them using field guide/naked eyes. Topics include but are not limited to insect diversity, ecology and behavior will be introduced. Course Objectives The aims of this course are helping you to appreciate the diversity and value of insects and gain practical information on insects of relevance to your daily life. You will be asked to shoot insects with your camera/cellphone during field trips or at your leisure. Using these photo collections, you should come up with a field trip report to introduce the insect diversity in Taipei city. Participation in classroom, and discussion is strongly encouraged. Students will sometimes be asked to work together in groups. Through these activities, you would expect to 1) identify common insects that occurred in Taipei, 2) understand their biology and unique adaptation, and 3) recognize physical features of insects that help them live in different environments. College of Management Main Campus Students are strongly encouraged to carefully reviewing the syllabus and locating the current readings and topics in relation to the course as a whole.
