                        <h2> Course Description</h2>
                        <p>This is a seminar on impermanence, or, if you like, on the view
                        that reality is fleeting.</p>
                        <p>McTaggart&rsquo;s paradox will provide a jumping off point. From
                        there we will go on to consider various puzzles about temporal
                        passage. That will then segue into the more general question of how
                        to understand what is at issue between those who take impermanence
                        seriously and those who do not.</p>
                        <p>We will end by considering a puzzling set of issues having to do
                        with individuals that do not yet exist.</p>
                        <h2 id="texts">Texts</h2>
                        <p>Texts will be posted to the course webpage.</p>
                        <h2 id="requirements">Requirements</h2>
                        <p>This course has three requirements:</p>
                        <ol class="decimal">
                            <li>Participation</li>
                            <li>An Annotated Bibliography</li>
                            <li>A Seminar Paper</li>
                        </ol>
                        <p>Your annotated bibliography is something you need to start now:
                        after reading a paper, briefly summarize the key points and your
                        reactions. This is something you may already do with all of your
                        reading (if not, you should). My aim here is to force you to do it
                        with all of your reading for this course.</p>
                        <p>A complete annotated bibliography, including papers that we
                        discuss in class and papers we don&rsquo;t (papers that are
                        assigned but not discussed or additional papers that you read in
                        connection with your seminar paper) is due at the end of the
                        quarter.</p>
                        <p>A seminar paper proposal is due by the end of week 6 of this
                        quarter. A seminar paper draft is due by the end of week 9. The
                        seminar paper proper is due by the end of the first week of Spring
                        quarter.</p>
                        <h2 id="academic-misconduct">Academic Misconduct</h2>
                        <p>It is your responsibility to know what constitutes academic
                        misconduct. I will report offenders to the committee on academic
                        misconduct. If you have not already, take a look at <a href=
                            "http://oaa.osu.edu/coam/faq"><code>http://oaa.osu.edu/coam/faq</code></a></p>
                        <h2 id="disabilities">Disabilities</h2>
                        <p>If you need (or may need) an accommodation based on the impact
                        of a disability, you should contact me <strong>now</strong> to
                        discuss your needs. I will work with the Office for Disability
                        Services to coordinate reasonable accommodations for any student
                        with a documented disability. Office for Disability Services, 150
                        Pomerene Hall, 292&ndash;3307.</p>
                        <h2 id="email">Email</h2>
                        <p>Email is the best way to reach me. However, I am not always
                        online. Please allow me 48 hours to respond. If I have not
                        responded in 48 hours please email me again, letting me know it is
                        your second email (I won&rsquo;t take this as harassment). Always
                        include &ldquo;Philosophy 863&rdquo; or &ldquo;Phil863&rdquo; in
                        the subject line of your email.</p>
