  • AL 40700: Phoenix Institute: Heroism Reconsidered

    3.00 Credits
    University of Notre Dame

    This Phoenix Institute course is not intended for Notre Dame students. Starting with the heroic quest paradigm that originated with Gilgamesh and Greek mythology, we will explore the attributes and evolution of heroism from ancient to modern times. Because the warrior-heroes of history have often ignored the common good with disastrous consequences, we will look at the various faces of heroism and ask if mankind would profit by loosening the grip that warrior-heroes have on the human imagination. Collaterally, we will explore what can be appropriated from competing models of the hero for personal strength of character, happiness, and humanity's hopes for peace on earth. Texts for this class will include the following: Homer's Iliad (Robert Fagles' translation); Plutarch's Life of Alexander the Great; the Bible (Moses, David, Jesus); selections from John Milton's Paradise Lost; selections from Early Christian Fathers; selections from The Last Letters of Thomas More; war poetry of World War I (Wilfred Owen, "On Passing the Menin Gate" and Siegfried Sassoon, "Dulce et Decorum Est"); World War II war letters from Andrew Carroll's Behind the Lines; Alexandr Solzhenitsyn's One Day in the Life of Ivan Denisovich; Viktor Frankl, Man's Search for Meaning, and Schindler's List (film).

  • AL 40701: Phoenix Institute: Democracy, War, and Empire - Thucydides's History of the Peloponnesian War

    3.00 Credits
    University of Notre Dame

    This Phoenix Institute course is not intended for Notre Dame students. Thucydides's History of the Peloponnesian War is one of the greatest historical narratives ever produced, telling the story of the epic struggle between democratic Athens and oligarchic Sparta and their allies that took place between 431 and 404 BC. But it is much more: along the way Thucydides presents deep analyses of the nature of democracy and other political regimes, the moral hazards of empire, justice among nations, and the causes of war. He penetrates to the roots of political life in human nature. His reflections are thus not only of historical interest but take us to matters of permanent relevance in human affairs.
