First Week
Welcome to the online Introduction to Humanities Spring 2008 Blog.
Each week student's will post their thoughts on the materials we've read and how they apply to their worldview of the humanities in general.
What I would like you to keep in mind for responding on this blog is the following thought by Earl Shorris, "The humanities are a foundation for getting along in the world, for thinking, for learning to reflect on the world instead of just reacting to whatever force is turned against you...Do all rich peopole, or people who are in the middle, know the humanities? Not a chance. But some do. And it helps. It helps to live better and enjoy life more. Will the humanities make you rich? Absolutely. But not in terms of money. In terms of life."
We will be examining the factors that many people believe are some of the defining factors of being human. What are these subjects doing for, to, and about your humanity?
