An exploration of sites, conceptions, and representations of evil. Drawing examples from religion, myth, folklore, literature, film, visual culture and popular culture, evil will be considered as a culturally embodied phenomenon, requiring engagement, analysis, and response. In Winter 2017 we will be considering religious theories of evil; “radical evil;” psychological explanations of evil; and the banality of evil. In the second half of the course we will shift our focus to one of the many forms through which evil is represented, namely, “the monstrous.”

I'm this year, PhD'ing. Mostly Heidegger and Wittgenstein stuff now.
Good luck with the logic. I tried to learn it beyond basic pre-Frege stuff, and my method was basically >read a comprehensive history (Kneale) + historical sourcebook (can't remember) of logic >read some outdated but comprehensive logic book from the 70s recommended to me by a crazy person in the Annex >spend my entire time trying to understand the "perspectival" epistemology/ontology of logic instead of just doing logic
Whenever I tried to speak about this stuff to hardcore analytic profs, they looked at me like I was politely asking to rape their daughters.
IMHO Heid+especially Witt abrogate formal logic entirely, or at least reduce it to a curiosity. Don't let analytics sour you on Wittgenstein, they never actually got him.

Idk man, we're getting into Heidegger this semester which I'm excited for, I was always on the fence about Wittingstein, b/c I thought he had some good points about language and societal context, but I didn't want to end up being full analytic or something. Good to hear that he's still #oneofus thanks.
Any profs/courses that you would recommend? We have some new guy for continental instead of the guy the course is famous for.

I just started an open uni beause it doesnt require any qualifications and I'm a reclusive person, education comes with an introduction of these subjects while not going to deep in any of them yet.
Get to pick bigger subjects next year. Probably gonna drop the art history and go full philosophy, history and literature then.
Also want to move into a college dorm soon, no idea what to expect.
Kevin Hernandez
>Most likely a tenured actual professor
Very possible. Remember to visit Seekers while you're there, maybe at night.
I can't recommend anything at UofT since I only skirted the actual philosophy department (long story), but in hindsight it's a bit of a ghost town when it comes to continental thought. I would definitely take things into your own hands and not be bound by the course listings there.
If you take Heidegger, Dreyfus (major Heid scholar) has a podcast of his Berkeley lectures up on archive.org, with the syllabus on Berkeley's website. Both easily googled.
That kind of thing, plus a lot of self-directed reading and finding two or three profs who actually did the things I was interested in, saved my ass at UofT. It was just too narrow otherwise. When I look back and think of how many of my major interests stem from a random conversation with some dude, and how few of them stem from the actual course content at UofT, I get a feeling of anxiety. It's a great school in many ways, but it is also very narrow in a lot of places.
Use Hacker & Baker's commentary for Wittgenstein and start with the Philosophical Investigations, if you ever get into him. If you end up liking Heidegger, and especially Gadamer/Dilthey and hermeneutic phenomenology, Wittgenstein is great.
Sorry for the longposting.

Brody Phillips
The fuck? I've been going there for years! Are you that guy who used to work in Gerstein? There was this other guy who was obsessed with Colin Wilson.
No yeah, they really do shill conventional ethics and conformity to an extent, not to mention Marxism whenever possible (it was influential I get it but still)
I'll definitely check the Heidegger lectures out, thanks. I'm getting along with one professor whom I ended up having for both semesters, so hopefully that'll be enlightening.
I'm planning on getting into Wittgenstein, so I'll definitely get your recommended text, thanks. And not at all, it's been incredibly helpful.

Did you hear about the whole Peterson fiasco from a few months back (and probably still ongoing)? Keywords: UofT, free speech, Bill C-16 will probably get you some cuck articles. The Rebel Media did live/fair coverage on the rallies though. Basically misgendering someone can constitute a hate crime :^))))))
Samuel Clark
Yeah you know way better than me. You've been going to Skrs way longer. What am I thinking.
I've been following Peterson pretty closely. I used to watch some of his lectures way back so I was like "oh shit" when I saw him debating that totalitarian tranny prof. The fucking godawful SJW Varsity was spazzing out about it for a while too, which was gratifying to watch.
God I am so glad to be away from that city and university. Candidly, it can be a real intellectual wasteland, man. Even pissant undergrad courses in the humanities/continental philosophy here are better than UofT grad courses.
Don't let it drag you down into being a fucking mediocrity. I have a feeling it's about to go through 10-20 years of hardcore sliding in prestige, and that several departments are dying or peaking. Mine certainly was. It banked too hard on the professionalization and progressivism memes, and the shit Peterson is describing, with OISE bureaucrats sucking it dry from the inside, is only just starting.

Why would anyone in their right mind do this to themselves? You're paying extra money (probably) to either fail or have no life and no sleep.
Jose Jenkins
First year we don't get to pick our schedules. It's hazing for lawyers. Last semester I got 5 hours of sleep a day, stopped eating, and stopped lifting. I'd spend 15 hours a day in the library or studying at home. I made good study buddies and we take care of each other as much as we can in this hell we call low tier law school. All this work and I didn't make top 10%. But I didn't fail. And I did better than the majority of students. It's kinda fun in a horribly demented way. I'm reading and learning more than I have ever in my life. I finally get to apply myself to something that is as interesting as it is boring.
Two writing-intensive courses, plus weekly contributions to the student paper. I'm not sure if I should audit a literature course.
