This course is intended as an introduction to political philosophy as seen through an examination of some of the major texts and thinkers of the Western political tradition. Three broad themes that are central to understanding political life are focused upon: the polis experience (Plato, Aristotle), the sovereign state (Machiavelli, Hobbes), constitutional government (Locke), and democracy (Rousseau, Tocqueville). The way in which...more

This course examines the Old Testament (Hebrew Bible) as an expression of the religious life and thought of ancient Israel, and a foundational document of Western civilization. A wide range of methodologies, including source criticism and the historical-critical school, tradition criticism, redaction criticism, and literary and canonical approaches are applied to the study and interpretation of the Bible. Special emphasis is placed on the...more

The MIT Biology Department core courses all cover the same core material, which includes the fundamental principles of biochemistry, genetics, molecular biology, and cell biology. Biological function at the molecular level is particularly emphasized and covers the structure and regulation of genes, as well as, the structure and synthesis of proteins, how these molecules are integrated into cells, and how these cells are integrated into

In this lecture on the male reproductive system, Professor Diamond begins by covering the primary sex organ (the gonad or testis). She discusses its function in producing sperm and testosterone, location within the male body, and the reason it is enclosed in a separate pouch called the scrotum (temperature regulation by the eremasteric muscle). Then she talks about the source of sperm, structure of the testis, in particular, the lobules,...more

In this lecture, Professor Diamond explores the endocrine system in depth, covering the structure and function of the pineal gland, ovary, testes, thyroid, parathyroid, adrenal gland, and pituitary gland. She first mentions the pineal gland and its regulation of the circadian rhythm. She briefly discusses the ovary and testes and their role in hormone production before moving on to discuss the thyroid. She discusses the shape,...more

Banks, which were first created in primitive form by goldsmiths hundreds of years ago, have evolved into central economic institutions that manage the allocation of resources, channel information about productive activities, and offer the public convenient investment vehicles. Although there are several types of banking institutions, including credit unions and Saving and Loan Associations, commercial banks are the largest and most...more
