The Neuroscience of Philosophy with Tamar Gendler
For thousands of years, people have been following the wisdom and guidance of the great ancient philosophers – whether they knew it or not. Everything from today’s top-selling self-help books to some of the latest strategies in advertising and political campaigning have their direct roots in the teachings of Plato, Aristotle, Epictetus, and others.
Now, however, researches in this exciting new field of neuroscience have begun to look into what happens inside the brain when people follow some of the techniques taught by these philosophers so many years ago. Many of these results are astounding, shedding new light on how and why employing these ancient time-tested practices can make us feel better, happier, and more fulfilled in our increasingly busy and hectic modern-day lives.

The Politics of Health Care with James Morone
Franklin Roosevelt first considered reforming the health care system in 1935. Since then, every single president has tried and failed. The reasons why provide an inside look of the American Political System, and a window on American culture itself. This interactive class will discuss the historical and political roots of the American health care crisis, what role drug and insurance companies play, and what precisely President-elect Obama is proposing.
Political science professor James Morone from Brown University has offered bits of this class on NPR’s Morning Education, Talk of the Nation, CBS Sunday Morning, The Newshour with Jim Leher, and The Fox News Midday Report among other places. Now, come learn the whole story.
