gh 201K/ GH 201m/ gh 201n: Introduction to the Great Works
Spring 2010
course description
The Introduction to the Great Works will examine selected "great works" from prominent Western and Eastern cultures and will investigate the historical and philosophical contexts from which they sprang. Drawn from the fields of art, theater, philosophy, religion, and psychology, the selected great works were highly influential in their own time and continue to demand our attention since they shed light on matters that are of both universal and immediate concern and application. The course, which will consist both of lectures and seminar-style discussions, seeks to build skills on how to delve deeply into multi-layered works as well as to hone the ability to synthesize insights across traditional disciplinary lines and think in cross-disciplinary ways.
All three sections will be meeting at the same time and will periodically participate in a shared lecture. Each section will read some of the same texts, and some different. The general theme for GH 201 this semester is Civility vs. Barbarianism.
