Course Description

Required Text

Course Overview and Objectives

Humanities stresses the interrelationship of literature, the fine and performing arts, philosophy, and world religions with man and his need to explore, build, and create.  We will survey a wide variety of arts and cultures from the ancient world to the early modern world. You will be required to use the Internet for some of the daily readings.

Hopefully, you will leave this class with an increased ability to read and to think critically. I ask of you only that you come to class, having read the day’s assignment, with an open mind, and the intention to respect everyone’s right to be heard. Please check your personal feelings about politics, homosexuality, and religion at the door.
