Description:

This course explores the examined life through three basic questions that shape human experience: Who am I? What can I know? What should I do? Readings, discussions, and questions foster critical reflection and emphasize connections not only between literature and philosophy but also among disciplines such as art, history, psychology, and in response to philosophical and literary works. Currently Plato’s Euthyphro, Apology, and Crito, are common readings.
