HNSM 142 - Faith and Freedom

3 Credit Hours
Although many consider faith (not only religious) and freedom (not only political) “natural” and common aspects of the human condition, they co-exist uneasily. In this course, we will consider rational, emotional, and mysterious sources of deeply held beliefs alongside the exercise of free will. The common text in the Honors first-year seminars, Dostoevsky’s The Brothers Karamazov, will be our primary guide as we investigate these enduring concerns. We will also analyze modern discussions of faith and freedom in the contexts of national institutions, social conflict, and connections to home.
