Med Hum 200: Analyzes social and cultural understandings of the body, health, illness, medicine, and disease. Themes include critical histories of the body; "alternative" and non-biomedical healing systems; race, gender, and identity in medical care; and theories and expressions of pain and suffering.

The presence of women in the history of analytic philosophy is still underestimated, although recent studies are uncovering their work and importance. In this seminar we will examine the crucial role that some women philosophers had, looking at their writings and at the exchanges they had with more established figures such as Russell, Moore, Wittgenstein, members of the Vienna Circle, and ordinary language philosophers. Among the thinkers that we will consider are Victoria Welby, Susan Stebbing, Margaret MacDonald, Alice Ambrose, Dorothy Wrinch, Rose Rand, Elizabeth Anscombe, and Susanne Langer.
