HU 200 - Imagination and Wisdom

Institution:

Marymount University

Subject:

Description:

The course introduces the student to study in central humanities disciplines: literature, fine arts, history, and philosophy or theology. The approach begins with an introduction to each discipline as a distinct area and proceeds to explore their interdependence and integration. Through a thematic approach the course argues that the unique aspect of studies in the humanities is that these disciplines address "wisdom questions" (i.e.questions about the ultimate purpose, meaning, and end of human experience) and the imagination.
