Love and Sex in the Humanities

Catalog description

This course focuses on two major subjects in the Humanities: love and sex. HU 130 examines ways in which thinkers and artists have explored these subjects and the meaning these artists and thinkers have offered their viewers, listeners, and readers. The works studied provide the opportunity to analyze the values elaborated (implicitly and/or explicitly) in these thinkers’ and artists’ works and to assess these values’ relevance to one’s own views of love and sex.
