Radical Classics

Undergraduate

This course dives into the political, intellectual, and social thought and criticism of the late 19th and early 20th century Anglo-American world. Questions posed will include: what is culture? What is religion? What is work? What is leisure? What should one read? How does learn to do good? What is fulfillment? What is happiness, and what is health (and what if the two are not the same)? What does it mean to be divided? And how should one even pose these questions in the first place? Readings include Matthew Arnold, W. E. B. DuBois, William James, and Thorstein Veblen. SO W 7pm-8:55pm
