A philosophy professor tests the limits of the soul and body by
performing dehumanizing experiments on unwilling subjects, after
the department is closed due to budget cuts.Violent Faculties
follows a philosophy professor influenced by Sade and Bataille. She
is ejected by university administrators aiming to impose business
strategies in the interest of profit over knowledge.She designs a
series of experiments to demonstrate the value of philosophy as a
discipline, not because of its potential for financial benefit, but
because of its relevance to life and death. The corpses proliferate
as her experiments yield theoretical results and ethical
conundrums.She questions why it is wrong to kill humans, what is it
about them that makes their lives sacred, and then attempts to find
it in their bodies, their words, their thoughts, and their
souls--seeking foundational truths with a knife in her home office.
