TITLE: INTRODUCTION TO HUMANITIES:
QUESTIONS
DESCRIPTION: QUESTIONS ARE OFTEN
MORE IMPORTANT THAN ANSWERS, AND
SOME QUESTIONS ENDURE,EVEN IF THERE
ARE MANY ANSWERS. IN THIS CLASS, WE
LOOK AT MOVIES, LITERATURE, AND
PHILOSOPHY AS THEY POSE (AND OFTEN
FAIL TO ANSWER) QUESTIONS SUCH AS:
WHAT DO WE OWE TO EACH OTHER? WHEN
AM I REALLY IN CONTROL OF MY
ACTIONS? WHAT IS THE RIGHT THING TO
DO? HOW DO CIRCUMSTANCES SHAPE THE
ANSWERS TO SUCH QUESTIONS? WHO AM
I? AND OF COURSE, WHAT IS A HUMAN
BEING? ARE DEFINITIVE ANSWERS TO
THESE QUESTIONS POSSIBLE?
