授業の概要と目的(何を学ぶか)Outline and objectives
People often think that "philosophy" is quite an old subject - and very difficult, unfortunately. It is true that so-called "philosophical questions" have been discussed in rather complicated and often confusing manners since many years ago, for example, by Socrates and Aristotle in the ancient Greek period. But many philosophers strongly believe that these questions are closely related to our everyday life issues. We are surrounded by many philosophical issues, though we may not always be aware of their philosophical significances; that is, philosophical issues are basically our everyday issues. But how are they related to our life?
In this course, you will discuss various philosophical topics, their in-depth meanings, and their philosophical significances, trying to find their very relevance to our life. That may help you see your surroundings, your society and the world in quite exciting and interesting ways. Out of many philosophical issues found in our daily life, we will choose 13 topics and discuss them in class.
到達目標Goal
This course provides a broad introduction to philosophical ways of thinking. The course is open to students from any disciplines, who hope to:
(1) understand some of the most fundamental philosophical topics (for instance: freedom, truth, and moral rightness /wrongness),
(2) be able to explain the issues in very simple everyday terms, and
(3) apply philosophical ways of thinking (reasoning) on every-day issues.

Basic course requirements:
*No previous philosophy courses required.
*Intellectual curiosity: Keen eyes on everyday-life facts and issues.
*Respectful attitude of others’ opinions.
On enrollment:
The student enrollment in this course is limited to 20, and you will be admitted on a first-come and first-served basis. So, if you wish to take this course, you need to take an immediate action and do the following:
(1) You have to send me an e-mail (to the address below) expressing your intention to enroll:
yasushi.ishida.85@hosei.ac.jp
(2) When you are accepted to the class, you will receive a note (e-mail) of confirmation. If the class is already filled, you will be put on the waiting list in the order of application.
(3) Those who have received my note of confirmation can go through a procedure of 本登録.
(4)【Important】 Do not fail to notify me, in case you decide to cancel your enrolment. 授業を取らないと決めた場合は、必ず連絡をすること。でないと、ウェイティング・リストに載っている他の学生が登録できません。
・Those who are put on the waiting list can register, ONLY IF we have some vacancies in the enrollment AND the registration is still possible (that is, it is still in the registration period).
・You will be accepted on a first-come and first-served basis. Equally importantly, I urge you to attend the first and/or second meeting. In case you fail to attend both of them, that will affect your final grade (10%); if you have legitimate or good reason to miss the meetings, do not fail to contact me by e-mail.
Organization of the class:
▶ Each class will consist of (less than)100-minutes of lecture and discussion. The class will be conducted in English.
▶ I appreciate interaction and exchange with you in class. So, please make best efforts to express your ideas, even if you find it very difficult to do so. I would NOT penalize you for making mistakes; you ARE entitled to make mistakes in class!
▶ This year, due to the coronavirus situation, this course will be held online (by using Zoom), so please make sure you have the application ready in your computer along with necessary devices.
◉ On the Zoom meetings:
・ I will post the “Zoom Link,” “授業参加用ミーティングID” and “パスコード” on 学習支援システム or e-mail you the information by Wednesdays (the day before the class). You will have to sign in with your own Hosei University e-mail address and password.
・ Your attendance will be recorded automatically, but I may take attendance.
・ In case someone comes in one of the online classes to do any disturbing acts (which is often called Zoom-Bombing), I will terminate the meeting immediately. And I will report to the University. I will then post in 学習支援システム what you will have to do.

成績評価の方法と基準Grading criteria
I will assess your grade based on the way you participate in the class discussions and on your final project.
Attitude/ Participation: 40% of course grade
Final Project (a paper): 60% of course grade
*Attitude/ Participation:
I appreciate your participation in class and would like to know your ideas and opinions. I will hence consider your participation as part of your grade.
*Final Project:
At the end of the semester, you are expected to submit a short paper (of 700 to 1000 words) on the topic that you choose, explaining your ideas or insights. Your topic should be related to the issues studied or discussed in class. I will give you a specific Guideline before the end of semester.
▶ Near the end of the semester, you will have to submit your "essay plan," which should include the title (topic) of your paper and your (tentative) conclusion described in a short paragraph (of about 200 words): Note that it is NOT a draft of your final paper. You will receive my comments on your paper plan, and then your "plan" should be re-organized or revised accordingly.
▶ In writing your paper, you can expand your ideas by citing or referring to books and other documents, including materials from websites. In that case, you MUST explicitly show the sources or reference either in the footnotes or endnotes. (Do NOT cite or refer to Wikipedia in your paper. If you do so, you will receive a “D” grade.)
▶ Plagiarism: If you copy sentences from any existing documents (again, including any writings from websites) without showing sources or reference, you will receive a "D" grade. It is important that you present your own view or insights, not the same ideas as described or explained in published or preexisting documents or on websites.
▶ You have to submit your paper (essay) on the web system (Class Support System, 授業支援システム). The due date will be announced near the end of the semester.
Based on the grading criteria set by the instructor, students that successfully achieve 60% or more of course goals will be able to earn a passing grade for the course.
学生の意見等からの気づきChanges following student comments
In previous semesters, I received several comments from students: for instance, "having discussions in class was very hard at the beginning, but it helped me improve my English speaking skills and express myself logically. Eventually, I found it quite exciting and stimulating."
その他の重要事項Others
・I urge you to attend the first and/or second meeting. In case you fail to attend both of them, that will affect your final grade (10%); if you have legitimate or good reason to miss the meetings, do not fail to contact me by e-mail.
・As I appreciate interaction and exchange with you in class, I would like to know what you think and have your feedback. So, I strongly advise that you attend all the classes and participate in the discussions.
・Philosophy is different from a philosophy. “Philosophy” is the discipline that comprises logic, metaphysics, ethics, epistemology, etc.; on the other hand, “a philosophy” is a system of beliefs, concepts, or attitude of an individual or a group. Everyone has a philosophy of some sort, even if he/she has never read a philosophy book. An individual’s philosophy can be a subject for examination and discussion in philosophy class.
