Philosophy: Reasons, Explanations and Justifications
When people ask why someone does something (for example why they lie) or what the reason for something is (for example for flooding or increased support for a political movement,) what exactly are they asking ? This course introduces you to three philosophical answers to this question. The first is to distinguish types of reason – ‘explanatory’, ‘motivating’, and ‘normative’. The second consists in pointing out that there are different reasons for accepting a statement as valid – truth, rightness (e.g. moral), and truthfulness. The third is to specify criteria for what creates or maintains moral or political justification. The course is intended to help you think more clearly about the ‘why question’ and to bring useful insights to what can be contentious topics.

Archaeology: Highlights of Saxon & Viking Archaeology
Why was Britain's genetic make-up radically changed between 500 and 800
AD/CE? Were the newcomers environmental refugees, pagan plunderers,
invaders or missionaries? Who were these new arrivals and what were
they doing over here?
This course will use recent information on sites, finds and their
interpretation to shed new light on Anglo-Saxon Age archaeology in
Britain. How and why the migrations took place will be illustrated using
new (since 1980) excavation evidence, metal detecting finds, scientific
analysis and aerial remote sensing data.
