LAS 443 - Dark Side of Aristotle’s Ethics

Credit Hours 3
As a primer for leading a virtuous life, Aristotle’s Nichomachean Ethics outlines the framework to create the quintessential human being. This course will examine the literary reverse of Aristotle’s vision through the works of existential authors such as Kafka, Camus, and Sartre. Dante’s Inferno will also be examined to illustrate the ultimate plight of the lost souls who exist without hope for redemption. Together, all these works will serve to underscore the importance of the ethics as a pivotal work of “human architecture.”
