Where Are We Going?
During this first week of the term, you will learn how our course works (Orientation Module), get a sense for what we do in a Humanities course in creativity, and get a sense for how some people have described the human condition.
By the end of the week you will be able to answer the following questions:
What are the Humanities?
Who is Aristotle and what did he think about how to live a good life?
What does creativity have to do with living a good life?
What does the Garden of Eden story say about creativity & a good life?
What is the difference between values and virtues?
Who was Plato and how does he describe what it means to be human?
