    26. Race and Reunion: The Civil War in American Memory

    The Civil War and Reconstruction Era, 1845-1877 (HIST 119)Uploaded 21-11-08Having dealt with the role of violence and the Supreme Court in bringing about the end of Reconstruction in his last lecture, Professor Blight now turns to the role of national electoral politics, focusing in particular on the off-year Congressional election of 1874 and the Presidential election of 1876. 1874 saw the return of the Democrats to majority status in the Senate and the House of Representatives, as voters sick of corruption and hurt by the Panic of 1873 fled the Republicans in droves. According to many historians, the contested election of 1876, and the "Compromise of 1877," which followed it, marked the official end of Reconstruction. After an election tainted by fraud and violence, Republicans and Democrats brokered a deal by which Republican Rutherford B. Hayes took the White House in exchange for restoration of "home rule" for the South.00:00 - Chapter 1. Introduction: Exhibitions and Elections of 187611:21 - Chapter 2.

    15. Marilynne Robinson, Housekeeping

    The American Novel Since 1945 (ENGL 291)Uploaded 21-11-08Professor Hungerford situates Marilynne Robinson's novel Housekeeping (1980) in a tradition of American writing about the individual's relationship to nature that includes the powerful influences of the Bible, Herman Melville, and Ralph Waldo Emerson. The loss of identity that Emerson describes as becoming a "transparent eyeball" in the woods, Robinson brings into the realm of the home, the built environment. The individual voice and its guiding consciousness are all mixed up in the material substance of the world, giving them a concurrent fixity and fragility that it is Robinson's talent, and our challenge, to explore.00:00 - Chapter 1.

    8. Plato, Part III: Arguments for the immortality of the soul (cont.)

    Death (PHIL 176)Uploaded 30-09-08The lecture focuses exclusively on one argument for the immortality of the soul from Plato's Phaedo, namely, "the argument from simplicity." Plato suggests that in order for something to be destroyed, it must have parts, that is, it must be possible to "take it apart." Arguing that the soul is simple, that it does not have parts, Plato believes that it would logically follow that the soul is indestructible.00:00 - Chapter 1.

    5. Arguments for the existence of the soul, Part III: Free will and near-death experiences

    Death (PHIL 176)Uploaded 30-09-08Professor Kagan discusses in detail the argument of free will as proof for the existence of an immaterial soul. The argument consists of three premises: 1) We have free will. 2) Nothing subject to determinism has free will. 3) All purely physical systems are subject to determinism. The conclusion drawn from this is that humans are not a purely physical system; but Professor Kagan explains why this argument is not truly compelling. In addition, near-death experiences and the Cartesian argument are discussed at length.00:00 - Chapter 1. The Dualist's Stance on Free Will and the Soul's Existence 04:57 - Chapter 2.
