for lower-division courses, i like short answer questions. (even when I give essay prompts, they're really just series of short answer questions.) here's a picture of a 50-minute final exam from a 200-level philosophy of cognitive science course, alongside a picture of the study guide for that exam.

The article also includes a sketch of the one true ontology of mind, for a treat.

OUTER (ALL-ENCOMPASSING) LAYER OF INTERPRETIVISM
• to have a mind is to be aptly interpretable as minded
• a phenomenon is mental iff it is aptly interpretable as mental

SECOND (PARTIAL) LAYER OF INTERPRETIVISM
• to believe is to be aptly interpretable as believing
• to be intelligent is to be aptly interpretable as intelligent
• …and so on for an indefinite number of other interpreter-dependent phenomena

INNER CORE OF INTERPRETER-INDEPENDENT NATURAL KINDS
• conscious experiences like feelings of pain, visual experiences, and so on
• cognitive capacities like working memory, cognitive models, and so on

fifty-three of my dad's students, friends, relatives, and ardent admirers helped put this festschrift together: www.devinsanchezcurry.com/dckc

PHILOSOPHY, HISTORY, AND OTHER PRODUCTIVELY USELESS ENDEAVORS: ESSAYS IN HONOR OF DAVID C. K. CURRY

This book is a festschrift (a celebratory collection of writings) honoring Dr. David C. K. Curry, edited by his three children and presented to him upon his retirement in the summer of 2025. The festschrift includes autobiographical reflections from Dr. Curry’s students, colleagues, friends, and family; scholarly essays on evil, pedagogy, and the historiography of philosophy; a pastiche of Miguel de Cervantes; and several instances of what can only be described as “original multimedia content.”

Contributors: Kristin Andrews, Vita Ayala, Rob Badger, Tom Baker, Carrie Bates, Frances Bottenberg, Peter Brouwer, Annie Browne, Kevin Browne, Ruthann Browne, Jim Cargile, Matt Chick, Amelia Curry, Arwen Curry, Bo Curry, Clinton Curry, Denise Curry, Devin Curry, Galen Curry, Jimmy Curry, Lee Curry, Mary Ann Curry, Maya Curry, Laurie Daugherty, Joe DiGiovanna, Antonio Dos Santos, Caroline Downing, Rachel Fedock, Justin Francos, Carmen Gutierrez, Nabeel Hamid, Jimmy Harris, Kate Nicole Hoffman, Ed Holler, Brian Huss, Jose Lara, Lisa Long, Mark Lyon, Jacob MacDavid, Derek Maus, Michael McKenna, Tim Murphy, Chris Propert, Carmelina Roca, Diana Roca, Elsa Schmidt, Jorge Secada, Steve Stannish, Tess Strauch, Andy Van Kempen, Rick Vitray, Hank Zimmerman

new book for teaching argumentation by the best philosophy teacher i know

Devin Curry@devinsanchezcurry· Sep 4

Lest we forget, and many would like you to, SUNY Potsdam discontinued 14 major programs last year, mostly in the still so-called School of Arts & Sciences. Remarkably, one cannot study art history, communication, French, dance, philosophy, physics, Spanish, or theatre in this “school.” Along the way, seven tenured faculty members were terminated, along with a still carefully guarded number of untenured full and part timers, and an unsurprising though disheartening number who, perhaps wisely, rushed into retirement – better retire than be retrenched, after all. The college is a shell of what it once was.

On the other hand, the campus will greet a number of newly hired faculty in programs deemed ‘salable’ by the powers that be; more evidence that the cries of financial exigency were convenient (indeed, manufactured), but not the real point of ‘downsizing’. If it were the real point, and if the reorganization of the college was a serious attempt to address it, the college administration would have been able to justify their targets financially – something they have not done and cannot do. The real point was to remake the institution into a professional school, which sells pieces of paper to those wrongly convinced they need such things to get a good job – the future of public higher education. The result is a diminished education for all involved, perhaps most importantly for those who will go on to become our future educators, health professionals and entrepreneurs.

Perhaps SUNY Potsdam will thrive as a professional school long term. Short term, as recently as 2020 there were 2,837 undergraduate students enrolled at Potsdam. In 2024, there were 1,823 undergraduates on campus for the first day of classes, a 7% decline from 2023 and a 35% decline since 2020. The effects of the now going on four year systematic and intentional dissolution of the College’s liberal arts programs by four successive college presidents? Thus far, at least, the campus transformation appears to be having the opposite of its intended effect. No real surprise there. Who wants to attend a four-year public comprehensive college where you can’t study art history, communication, French, dance, philosophy, physics, Spanish, or theatre, when one can just as easily attend another four-year public college that does? You know, a real comprehensive college.

Many of the faculty who started back to teaching this week know they won’t be back in a semester or two, others will just toil under the threats, as most faculty have been toiling for four years, now. Nevertheless, most of my colleagues will do what is best for their students regardless of their own personal situation. This is because they are mostly professionals who mostly recognize the importance of a liberal arts education for life and for citizenship. Partly because of that, teachers will teach, and try to teach well, regardless of how you treat them (yes, Gillian Welch, everything is free now). Administrators have known and taken advantage of this for years. It makes us easy to manipulate, as the narrative at SUNY Potsdam clearly illustrates.
