This course introduces students to the humanities through the study of influential works of art, literature, music, philosophy, and culture. Students explore how creators engage with fundamental questions about the human experience. The course focuses on interpreting works from across the humanities, exploring the values they express, and connecting those ideas to contemporary life and personal belief systems
This course focuses on two major subjects in the Humanities: love and sex. HU 130 examines ways in which thinkers and artists have explored these subjects and the meaning these artists and thinkers have offered their viewers, listeners, and readers. The works studied provide the opportunity to analyze the values elaborated (implicitly and/or explicitly) in these thinkers' and artists' works and to assess these values' relevance to one's own views of love and sex.
