FRSEMR 36o: The Trials of Socrates
4.00 Credits
Harvard University
Socrates initiated Western philosophy, despite claiming to know nothing at all. In this course, we read Platonic dialogues and more recent interpretations of Socrates' story in philosophy (Nietzsche, Arendt, Foucault), politics (I.F. Stone), theater (Voltaire and Brecht), music (Satie), and film (Rosselini). And we use tools of classical rhetoric to craft public speeches like Socrates'. We ask: what is Socratic method? Socratic irony? Was Socrates a hero, a genius, a scam artist, or a fool?

FRSEMR 37j: Memory and Memoir

Our approach considers twentieth-century and contemporary memoirs at the intersection of literature and history, exploring everyday life and the relations between self, memory, story, and history.

FRSEMR 38j: Medicine and Literature
4.00 Credits
Harvard University
Based on literary and medical texts. Addresses: Can language express physical pain? Can the body-in its fragile or injured form-enter literature? Are all our senses (hearing, touch, taste, smell) as vividly present in language as vision is?
