Course Description:
What is friendship? From the era of the Homeric Epic to our own, this question has been critical to our understanding of what it means to be human in a shared world. In this course we will join this long critical interrogation. Our approach to the notion of friendship will be interdisciplinary. We will work from a broad survey of literary and philosophical texts across different eras in order to think critically about the meaning of friendship and its ethical implications in our world. |
