PHIL1016 2025-26
Reason and Argument
One of the main reasons the study of Philosophy is valued by employers is that it develops an ability that is invaluable in all sorts of contexts: the ability to reason rigorously and correctly. All Philosophy modules aim indirectly to develop this skill, but Reason and Argument is directly concerned to develop it. The module is all about how to tell the difference between good and bad arguments, how to use language precisely, how to identify weak arguments and misleading uses of language in the writings of philosophers, politicians and others whose job it is to persuade us to believe what they want us to believe. The module focuses on arguments in ordinary language and aims to give you the concepts and skills you need to identify the tricks commonly used to disguise bad arguments as good ones and to develop your own skills in constructing valid arguments. -

Rebels with a Cause: The Historical Origins of Christianity
The first century CE saw the rise of a new world religion that was to have an ever changing and at times turbulent history up to today. This module will explore the historical origins of Christianity and the contexts from which it emerged. In particular, we will examine Jewish society in the Graeco-Roman world, which produced the first Christians, and the Palestinian scene under Roman rule at the time. We will investigate reactions to early Christianity in Graeco-Roman and Jewish literature and histories, including how its members were viewed as a rebellious minority and perceptions of their ideas as ‘excessive superstition’ and a ‘contagion’ (Pliny the Younger, Letters 10.96-97). We will also look at the search for identity and recognition amongst the earliest Christians, particularly in relation to the Jewish people, as they began to establish, develop and expand their new religion. The module will invite you to assess and debate the historical origins of one the key religions that has shaped the modern world. -

Rebuilding After the Holocaust
This module examines aspects of Jewish experience in the aftermath of the Holocaust. It explores refugee experiences in the aftermath of war; it explores Jewish debates over post-Holocaust futures, in Europe, in Israel, elsewhere; it examines attempts to re-establish Jewish communities in areas where they had been destroyed; it examines dialogues between Jews and others in the post-war world, and the presence of the Holocaust in those. Its emphasis is on the ways in which the suffering of the Holocaust did not simply end with the moment of liberation. Rather, it explores how, from the initial struggles in Displaced Persons camps and other sites of liberation through emigration, the rebuilding of shattered lives, conflicts over restitution and (in cases) renewed experiences of antisemitism and persecution the lives of Jews and their interlocutors remained shaped by the events of the Holocaust for decades after. -
