PHIL 300 - Philosophy of Human Nature

Institution:

Wentworth Institute of Technology

Subject:

Description:

This course will explore the ever-present phenomenon of human aggression and how various philosophers have attempted to define its nature. The class will focus on a reflection of the current state of the world (war and violence in the Middle East) as a paradigmatic topic of discussion on human nature. Many authors and texts will be used to study, first, the world-views of philosophy and religion; and second, to provide students with the hopeful prospect of cultivating love as an enduring answer to man's rapacious form of aggression. Prerequisite: ENGL105 and ENGL116 or ENGL105 and COMM200. ACPE Course.
