1 History of Modern Philosophy: Epistemology (PHIL 10088) Pauline Phemister Semester 2 Mondays, Dugald Stewart Building, Room G.06 The course will introduce students to epistemological themes prevalent in the early modern period. It will be attractive to students interested in studying the history of philosophy and to those with an interest in epistemology and in the philosophy of mind and language. Themes explored include sources of knowledge, scepticism, methodology, the nature and content of ideas, language and truth. These topics will be addressed through critical engagement in the debates on these issues found in the writings of the early modern philosophers, Descartes, Spinoza, Malebranche, Leibniz and Locke. Assessment The course will be assessed by one mid-semester essay of approximately 2,000 words (30%), due by 4pm on Thursday 1st March 2012 and a final closedbook examination (70%). Essay titles: Choose one of the questions from the questions pertaining to the tutorial up to and including week 6.

Extensions Students are expected to monitor their workload, be aware of all deadlines and be able to organise themselves accordingly. Extension requests should be submitted before the submission deadline. They must be submitted to the Teaching Office for approval, and must include details of the assessment(s) affected and length of extension requested, together with supporting evidence if required. Other than in exceptional circumstances, extensions will only be granted in cases of illness or family emergency. If students are seeking extensions for more than one week, they must provide medical evidence and/or discuss the request with the Student Support Officer. Extension requests due to time mismanagement, personal computing/printing problems or ignorance of deadline will not be accepted. The Teaching Office will the student to tell them whether the extension has been granted. The decision conveyed in this is final; if students feel that they have been unfairly denied an extension they should make a case to
6 the special circumstances committee for the removal of late submission penalties at the examination board. Retrospective extensions will not be granted. However, late submission penalties may be waived if a student requests an extension on the day of the submission deadline but cannot get medical evidence until some days later. Extensions include weekends and University holidays. If an extended deadline falls on a weekend, the work should be submitted by 9:30am on the next working day (i.e., work which would be due at 4pm on Saturday due to an extension should be submitted by 9:30am on the following Monday). Students with Adjustment Schedules Extension requests from students with adjustment schedules that allow 'short notice extensions' will be treated sympathetically where possible. Students should however be prepared to give a reason for the extension request; simply citing an adjustment schedule is not an adequate reason. If students are seeking extensions for more than one week, they must provide medical evidence and/or discuss the request with the Student Support Officer. Special Circumstances Students may apply for consideration of special circumstances if they feel that events out with their control have resulted in poor exam performance in comparison to their previous coursework record or even missing an exam. These circumstances most commonly include illness or bereavement but can be submitted for a variety of issues. It is the student s responsibility to complete a Special Circumstances form giving as much detail as possible and providing supporting evidence. All submissions must be accompanied by medical or other documentation. Innovative Learning Week In the academic year the University is having an extra week of teaching in Semester 2: Innovative Learning Week, February Normal teaching slots will be suspended and in their place will be a range of other activities such as master classes, a research day, a science fair, a Gaelic festival and guest lectures. More information will follow nearer the time so please check the School website where details will be available at february-2012
