| LIBS 603 - THE SEARCH FOR MEANING |
|
Every group throughout history has confronted basic issues about the human condition in a quest to define what is ultimately important. Within the context of change and impermanence, peoples have dealt with such issues as the meaning of self, freedom, and love; the definition of insider and outsider; the relationship of the individual to the collective; and the search for meaning. This final Core course integrates material from the other courses into the developmental issue of self-knowledge, in which the process of self-reflection will be used to enhance intellectual enlightenment. Autobiographical journals, cultural comparison, films, music, theater, and traditional readings will be the means to this end. Students will appraise their own personal histories by listening to the voices of women, African Americans, children, gays, the privileged, and the deprived.
