LAS 186 - Know Thyself

3 hours
This seminar takes as its starting point the famous Greek maxim, Gnothi seauton (Know thyself), and it assumes that self-knowledge comes only by reaching beyond oneself to engage an ever-wider world. Through challenging readings, discussion, written exercises, and even some “brain teasers,” this seminar will aid a process of self-discovery and self-appropriation that in various ways keeps coming back to an overriding question: “What does it mean for me to live an authentic human life - intellectually, morally, religiously?”
