PHI 201 - Demons to Think With

For hundreds of years, demons have proven useful thinking tools in the humanities as well as the sciences. The course requires reading about demons and learning to code them, but does not require advance knowledge of either demons or coding. Students will learn about demons in art, literature, and life - and to confront them in computing, where they are subversive and destructive, or useful and constructive. Among other things, this course introduces humanists and scientists, and their work, to each other.
