LAS 435 - Who Should I Become?

3 Credit Hours
Our families, our schools, and society as a whole encourage us to think about what we will become in the world, but it may be more difficult to think about who we will become. Through reading, discussion, and writing about Aristotle’s Nichomachean Ethics, Friedrich Nietzsche’s Beyond Good and Evil, Stephen Pinker’s The Better Angels of Our Nature, and Jane Austen’s Pride and Prejudice, students will explore where the systems of ethics we inherit come from; how ethical systems relate to our biological natures; and what we mean by happiness and how we find it.

Prerequisite(s): Senior standing.
