Wednesdays, 2:45 - 5:30 PM
Classroom: LAC - Riggs

General Goals:

  1. To understand the social and intellectual contexts  within which three of the persons most responsible for shaping modern understandings of the natural world, the social world, and the self developed their ideas.
  2. To understand the major concepts and arguments developed by each of these thinkers.
  3. To understand some of the major uses to which Darwinian, Marxist, and Freudian ideas have been put from the mid -nineteenth century to the present.

Assignments and Grading:

Written Responses To Readings (20%): By 10:00 AM before each class session, students should send a short (~ 200 word) response to the readings for the day. The response should do one of  four things:  (i) [default response] indicate one thing that you learned from the reading and state one question which the reading raised in your mind; (ii) reflect on some issue that you found particularly interesting, illuminating, or puzzling in the reading; (iii) disagree with some claim in the reading with the evidence and reasoning behind your disagreement; or (iv) relate the reading to something that has meaning for your life.

Grading will be on a two point system: zero points for no response or for one that does not reflect an honest engagement with the readings, one (1) point for a minimal response, and two (2) points for a thoughtful response.  If your average is> 1.5 points, you get an "A" for this section of the course grade (so strong responses to only 75% of the readings will net an A).  Between 1.49 and 1.25 gets a "B" grade, and between 1.24 and 1.00 gets a "C"  grade.  There will be no “D” grades for this portion of the grade.

Discussion Participation and Attendance (20%): Seminars depend for their success on the contributions of all members.  If you are not prepared or not present, you cannot enrich the experiences of others in the class. Grading on this portion will be based on the instructor’s impressions of the frequency and quality of your contributions to discussions.  More than two (2) un-excused absences will lead to a lowering of the participation grade; so if you are gone for some legitimate reason, please let me know.

Discussion Leading (20%): A portion of almost every class will be spent in discussing Common Readings.  For each of these discussions, two or more students will have a special responsibility to help in leading the discussion, so each student will play this role once during the semester.  Although this would seem self-evident, failure to fulfill the responsibilities of a discussion leader for the session assigned will result in zero credit for this portion of the grade.

Additional Perspectives Presentations and Reviews (10%): For most sessions I will ask one or two students to report on extra readings that will extend or deepen our understanding of the topic for the day.  Students should plan about a 10 minute presentation with an extra 5 minutes for questions.  Within one week of the presentation, students should turn in a short (3-5 pp.) written review of the book(s) or article(s) which they read to prepare their presentation.  Depending on the size of the class, this means that each student will be responsible once or twice for an additional perspective.  Again, although seemingly self-evident, failure to fulfill responsibilities relating to the presentation for the session assigned will result in zero credit for this portion of the grade.

Final Essay and Presentation (30%): Each student will write a Research Paper on some topic which is related to the course objectives and which interests her/him.  Undergraduates should aim for about 10 pages, graduate students for ~ 20 pages. The final three sessions of the course will be devoted to student presentations based on the research papers.1

Policy on Work Submitted Late: Except for work that impacts the rest of the class (see last sentence in paragraphs "Discussion Leading" and "Additional Perspectives Presentations and Reviews" above), work will be accepted late as long as it is completed by the last day of classes.  HOWEVER, there will be a penalty of 1/3 of a grade for every 24 hours or part thereof after the due date that the work is submitted unless the Associate Dean for Student Affairs verifies that there is a legitimate reason for extending the deadline.

Recommended Books for Purchase:
The following books have been ordered through Huntley Bookstore.  Major portions of each will be used during the semester:

  •  Phillip Appleman, ed., Darwin, 3rd edition;
  •  Eugene Kamenka, ed., The Portable Marx;
  •  Peter Gay, ed., The Freud Reader;
  •  Samuel Butler, Erewhon;
  •  Emile Zola, Germinal; 2
  •  Ernst Haeckel, The Riddle of The Universe;
  •  Herbert Marcuse, Eros and Civilization.

In addition there may be some common readings on the Web or distributed in class, and I will ask that students purchase several draft chapters from R. Olson, Science and Scientism in 19th Century European Culture from the department office for the cost of copying.

Common Readings will probably average about 200 pp. per week, with some weeks less and some substantially more.  When the readings are longer, they are almost always from easily read works of fiction.  I am assuming that students will need to spend 7-8 hours/week doing the Common Readings and reflecting on them.

Special Reading Assignment:  The most important common reading for the two weeks following the Fall break will be Emile Zola’s greatest novel, Germinal (1885), a commentary on late nineteenth-century European society which included reflections on where Marxism seemed to be going and which incorporated important new psychological theories, especially regarding crowd  behavior.  It is a long novel, so if you have a chance you should start to read it over the summer, as much for pleasure as for its significance for the course.

1  For planning purposes, every student should assume that they may be scheduled for their class presentation as early as November 29.  Because of HMC Humanities & Social Sciences advising, there will be no meeting on November 22.  That will be made up after November 29 as a third day for student presentations.

2  Special Reading Assignment:  The most important common reading for the two weeks following the Fall Break will be Emile Zola’s greatest novel, Germinal (1885), a commentary on late nineteenth-century European society which included reflections on where Marxism seemed to be going and which incorporated important new psychological theories, especially regarding crowd  behavior.  It is a long novel, so if you have a chance you should start to read it over the summer, as much for pleasure as for its significance for the course.
