PHI3041 Philosophy Through Literature

This course examines how literature has been used to explore vital philosophical issues, such as the nature of human life and death, human relationship with the ‘divine’, the place of humans in the natural world, and the qualities of a just society. It also considers how ‘Western’ civilization has elevated certain philosophical issues, especially the role of logic and the notion of the ‘self.’ Students will be expected to read various works of literature, and to write analytical research papers that draw connections across multiple disciplines and examine multiple perspectives on philosophical issues. Students must have taken PHI1000 or a 2000 level Humanties course with a grade of C or higher in either course. Credits: 3.000
