HUMA 422: The Pursuit of Happiness: Philosophy, Literature, and the Good Life
This seminar examines the intersection and cross-fertilization of philosophy and literature in modern European and American culture. At the center of our investigation is one of the fundamental questions regarding the purpose and value of human existence: how do we define happiness and what constitutes the good life? Inquiry into this question departs from the Socratic stance, which promotes the relentless practice of critical self-awareness in our pursuit of knowledge, wisdom, virtue and happiness.
