WINT24 Assistant/Associate Adjunct Professor Seminar 402 Western Tradition A (4 quarter units)

Description

The course description - Collegiate Seminar Part A offers us the opportunity to read and critically discuss (both in class and in writing) a selection of thinkers and writers who have helped form the foundation of Western culture. Together we will learn the art of shared inquiry, improve our ability to understand and articulate complex ideas, and develop our own, unique perspectives on age-old questions. What responsibilities do we have to our communities? What constitutes a community? What are the limits of human suffering and virtue? How (and why) do our ideals fail to translate into social justice? We will also develop our abilities to compose our own arguments and to support those arguments with evidence and sound analysis.
