HSEM 2041H - Greece and the Eternal Questions of the Liberal Arts (3 Cr.) Civic Life and Ethics, Honors

University Honors Program (10150) TUED - Undergraduate Education Administration

Course description

Throughout history, communities have grappled with the same questions: how do we govern the community? What stories do we tell about ourselves that give meaning to our lives? How do we persuade each other? How do we express our values and identity? Are there roles proper to men and women? Does life have meaning after life ends? Ancient Greek society was a particularly intense location for considering those questions.

These are questions fundamental to the liberal arts and fundamental to being a contributing citizen of a democracy in a globalized world. This class examines and critiques the ancient Greek answers in order to gain perspective on how to answer those questions for our own lives and our community.
