LAS 438 - Man’s Freedom: Torment or Grace 3 Credit Hours This LAS senior seminar will focus on the concept of Freedom and ways in which individuals either cherish their freedom and flourish within it or are tormented by it and ruined by it. As Dostoevsky suggests, perhaps nothing is more desirous to man than freedom, yet nothing is more terrible. Literary works from Dostoevsky, C.S. Lewis, and Yukio Mishima will help us explore a variety of external and internal enslavements. Greek and Existential philosophers will help us understand the impact values have on freedom and happiness. Inspiring stories of special survivors will also be highlighted: stories of those who endured great trauma and oppression only to cherish and promote freedom all the more.
Prerequisite(s): Senior standing.
