This list is a "library" of descriptions for philosophy courses, which are posted here regardless of when those courses are offered.
Longer descriptions are often available directly from instructors who regularly teach a course, but in most cases those descriptions are not syllabi: they only indicate in general terms what the teachers typically do when they teach the course.
For specific course information, please contact that course's instructor directly. For contact information, click on the instructor's name found at the top of the course description.
