HU2521 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”. Because this is a literature course, attention will also be paid to developing the critical vocabulary to analyze and discuss literature. Credits: 3
