HUM 395 H1 - Topics: Hot for God

Credit(s): 4
We all want to be happy. But what do we find happiness in? Pleasure? Success? Relationships? God? We will join Plato, Cicero, Augustine & Boethius as they attempt to elevate everyday life via critical reflection on human desire and our experience of the world, turning music into science and re-purposing poetry for philosophical ends. We will approach the traditional liberal arts not as a static block but a dynamic, evolving tradition. This will give us the critical perspective to creatively re-imagine our own education. (Offered Spring 2020)
