    CLASS 1240 - FROM PANDORA TO PSYCHOPATHY: CONCEPTIONS OF EVIL FROM ANTIQUITY TO THE PRESENT


    Minimum Credits: 3
    Maximum Credits: 3
    This lecture course introduces students to the ways in which humanity has struggled to comprehend and explain the existence of evil. The focus lies not on natural evils (such as earthquakes and epidemics) but on moral evil: Why are human beings at time so manifestly wicked? In this course we will look at the many theories and explanations given by poets, philosophers, and theologians over the course of our intellectual history and critically examine their explanatory value as well as their unintended consequences. The course is highly interdisciplinary. It will take into account the literature of various periods, beginning from early bronze age to the 21st century, but also invite students to engage with texts from such different genres as poetry, ancient and modern philosophy, theology, and modern psychology. The aim of the class is to empower students better to evaluate and critique facile contemporary views and prejudices concerning the nature and origin of moral evil.

    CLASS 1402 - GRECO-ROMAN RELIGIONS


    Minimum Credits: 3
    Maximum Credits: 3
    This course introduces students to religious texts and traditions in a formative era of Western civilization and culture. Our focus will be on the variety of religious expression in Greco-Roman culture, which flourished in the geographical area of the Mediterranean basin during the first five centuries of the common era. By considering such topics as debates about the nature of the gods and access to them (through oracles, ritual and magic), the emergence of the idea of the holy person, and a variety of religious traditions as expressed in prayer, ritual and art, students will encounter a rich religious imagination that is truly different from contemporary understandings of religion and yet strangely familiar as well. We will also explore the complete integration between religion politics in the ancient world.

    Since the dawn of civilization, warfare has been a constant threat to society.

This undergraduate course surveys the literary and material evidence of Greco-Roman warfare. Significant battles, developments, strategies, and attitudes are presented chronologically, and special attention is paid to issues of biological and chemical warfare, votive dedications and war trophies, casualties and commemoration, civilian impact, and the effects of post-traumatic stress disorder. This class is a designated W-course, so considerable attention will be paid to developing critical reading, writing, and oral presentation skills.
