HUM 150What Is the Good Life?4
What defines human nature, and how do we know it? What is the relationship between human and divine? How are ideas of self and society delineated? How should humans behave? How is the natural world understood? What is the good life? This course explores the worldviews of several civilizations that flourished from antiquity to the early modern era. In order to immerse ourselves in the ideas and values of the premodern time period, we will be focusing on key figures and texts from world literature, history, philosophy, religion, and the arts. Emphasis is placed on the analysis of primary sources in their cultural and historical context, and on critical engagement with multiple ancient perspectives in relation to contemporary issues.Yearly.

HUM 250Creating a Better World4
What were the origins of our contemporary system of nation-states? How has technology influenced social changes and culture? How have artists and thinkers responded to the economic and political forces that have shaped our present society? What were some of the reactions against modernity? What are possible paths forward toward a more just, stable, and free world? In this course we will investigate events, ideas, and values from the 16th to the 20th centuries during what is commonly described as the Modern Era. The course will present diverse multicultural perspectives on the scientific, political, industrial, and social changes that came about during this time (e.g., the rise of democracy, globalization, feminism, and international declarations of rights). Students will investigate the profound influence of these historical moments on philosophy, religion, literature, and the arts. Sources are drawn from multiple disciplines and include global cultural forms, both local and international. Yearly.

HUM 414Critical Perspectives on Contemporaneity4
As a senior capstone course for the Liberal Arts Core, HUM 414 engages the idea of “contemporaneity” as a historical construction tied to certain privileged, longstanding Euro-Western master narratives about the world and different ways of being human. Though it reaches back at various moments to periods explored in HUM 124, 214, and HUM 324 or LA 378, the primary coverage of this course spans the post-World War II period to the present. The course thematically examines an array of present-day historical, socio-cultural, ideological, and political forces impacting diverse human conditions and institutions while also addressing a range of critical responses thereto. Studied reflection about the future is incorporated as well. Students cannot receive credit for both HUM 414 and LA 478. This requirement must be fulfilled in residence.
