LAS 496 - The Creative Good3 hours
The seminar considers the role creative expression plays in the pursuit of the good. By critically examining visual narratives that explore moral choices, as well by addressing the creative act itself as a vehicle for resolving such questions, the participant can better define, the pursuit of the good as a life’s vocation and the means by which to do it. The student draws comparison with the contemporary anti-hero, from such collectively known narratives as The Sopranos and The Wire as well as classic films, such as The Conversation and The Bridge on the River Kwai that ask the necessary What If? moral dilemmas. The course uses Aristotle’s Ethics as a springboard for the rest of the seminar, negotiating his basic assertion that good is “that at which all things aim.”
