Course Description
Who were we? Who are we? Who will we become? How should we act? This course examines texts on human nature, human identity and human enlightenment from The Epic of Gilgamesh to current speculations on post-humanism. We will read epic, tragic, comic, philosophical and spiritual works in our quest to find meaning in the human condition and guidance on how best to live. We will draw on texts from various traditions to see if there are any universal answers to these questions.
