LAS 478 - Change for the Better, Virtue and Conversion 3 hours
Aristotle’s Nicomachean Ethics will serve to form a basic understanding of the concept of virtue. The Italian Middle Ages, as an era of political instability and religious fervor, will provide the background for the discussion of figures whose acts of spiritual conversion caused a more virtuous life. Saints’ legends, biographies, and Dante’s Inferno will make up the textual arena of the experiences, while early frescoes and manuscript art will be studied as visual complements.
