This 8-week course explores how great works of literature wrestle with timeless philosophical questions. From Plato’s challenge to the poets to modern novels about identity, justice, love, and meaning, you’ll see how stories and ideas illuminate one another. Each week pairs a major philosophical theme with a literary work, guiding you to read critically, think deeply, and express your own interpretations.
By the end, you’ll not only understand key debates in philosophy but also use literature as a living laboratory for testing ideas about what it means to be human.
