3.00 Credits
This course is part of Sacred Heart University's common core sequence The Common Core: The Human Journey. Each course in the common core addresses four fundamental questions of human meaning and value. These questions serve as the unifying frame for all the courses in the Common Core. In ENCC102 students read and examine significant works of literature. We read serious literature because it presents us with images of, dramatizes for us, or tells us stories about ourselves, our human experience throughout time, and the way we live. This course engages students in conversations about these literary stories, images, and dramatizations. In this course students will critically and analytically read and examine works of literature from different cultures-western and non-western, including Catholic, and from different time periods- classical to contemporary, with an aim toward understanding and appreciating how these very different works give us insight into the four central questions: (1) What does it mean to be human? (2) What does it mean to live a life of meaning and purpose, and is it possible to do so? (3) What does it mean to understand and appreciate the natural world? (4) What does it mean to forge a more just society for the common good?
