Course Description
This course examines--through literature, film, art, and philosophy-different concepts critical to the shaping of primarily \"Western\" culture(s), with a glance at similar concepts in \"non-Western\" cultures. The course is also \"critical\" in the sense that it asks students, through virtually weekly take-home quizzes, to critique these concepts, taking the wheat and letting the chaff be still. Topics may include the ideology of war or human rights; the problem of evil; the figure of the Trickster; and others.
