The objectives of this course are to help students achieve a full understanding of the philosophy of Marxism – its roots, its theoretical integrity, and its applications, both in the 19th century and today.
We will read and study some classic texts, by Marx and others. Both defenses and attacks on these views will be discussed; our object throughout will not be advocacy but the comprehension of the work of one of the greatest philosophers of the modern world, and of the great movement of which Karl Marx is the central philosophical force.

What might the engineer, biologist, and athlete have in common with the sculptor, the poet, and the jazz improviser? This course explores the idea that creative processes in seemingly disparate disciplines may share a common basis in the transformation in consciousness – also termed "peak experience". or "transcendence" – which is reported by individuals engaged in a wide range of activities. We examine a model from the Eastern Vedantic tradition which delineates the mechanics of this transformation. We also consider a variety of philosophies of consciousness, ranging from the "materialist" and "reductionist" perspectives which are in vogue in the academic world, to the "idealist" and "panexperientialist" philosophies whose roots can be traced to such thinkers such as Jung, Whitehead, Plato, and various Eastern sources.
Course activities will include readings and discussions, an assortment of creative exercises, and some exploration of contemplative methodologies for invoking heightened awareness. Open to students in all majors. To reserve a spot in the class, contact Professor Ed Sarath (sarahara@umich.edu), Chair, Department of Jazz and Contemporary Improvisation. Indicate class, major, and briefly describe your interests as related to the subject.
