Park Hall 0136


This course aims to introduce to students to the rich conversation between literature and philosophy through study of common themes and preoccupations. This term, we will concentrate on Ethics by examining major philosophical statements on the subject and, in turn, reading and critiquing literary works from the vantage point such statements provide. The course will be discussion-based. Students are not required to have any prior knowledge of philosophy, but those who do are welcome to share their insights from their study of that discipline.
