AI 251 THE - Humane Professional

Institution:

DePaul University

Subject:

Description:

While specialization is vital to progress in many professional areas, it can also lead to the erosion of humane values. These values can only be achieved through the cultivation of broader perspectives upon the world of knowledge. This course examines the dimensions of humane professionalism and the ways in which it can be achieved. Emphasis will be on the examination of professional behavior upon the confronting the limits of professional knowledge. No one profession will be the target of discussion since the humane professional can belong to any field. While humaneness is often used to refer first to the development of compassion and understanding for others, it can also refer to a familiarity with humanities. In this course, works from mythology, literature, history, and other fields will be used to explore humane values. Using readings assigned in class, students will be asked to prepare research papers involving individual exploration of the nature of humane professionalismas expressed in works taken from as least two areas of humane study.
