Goodness, Truth, and Beauty

Catalog description

Suppose that being human is dynamic in at least this sense: humans have many ways of reasoning and correlative, different values that pull in various directions. To be practical is to seek the good, whereas to understand is to be grounded in the true. Relating well, by contrast, develops harmony between us. Some ancient philosophers called this, "beauty." In this course, we study the art of being human by way of these three dynamic modalities. Counts as a Communication Intensive course. Counts as a Moral & Ethical Reasoning course.
