Ancient and Medieval Literature and Philosophy

Course Description

Ancient and Medieval Literature and Philosophy 2 Credits
Ancient and Medieval Literature and Philosophy/Honors 2 Credits

Not Offered in 2011-2012

This course samples some of the landmark-texts that define the still-evolving cultures of East and West, from the ancient cradles of civilization in Mesopotamia, India, China, and Greece to the almost-modern medieval worlds of Europe, the Middle East, and Japan. Readings include epics, drama, poetry, prose, and religious writings. Study and discussion will address both the texts and the historical periods that inspired them. By contrasting parallel readings from different cultural backgrounds, students will examine the values that are universal and the beliefs that distinguish the intellectual world.
