Human Nature in Contemporary Film (PHI 108)
Term: 2011-2012 AY - Spring Semester
This course focuses on philosophical, spiritual, sociological, and psychological perspectives in the development of our concept of ?self? as it is expressed in contemporary movies and films. By viewing and analyzing a prearranged collection of films (a list of films to be provided on the first day of class), students will learn the skill of critical observation. By studying underlying philosophical concepts revealed in films, students will develop an understanding of the contributions various disciplines make in the evaluation and explanation of the human self.
