Course Description:  In this course, we will read short stories or poems to discover the philosophical ideas they contain, and discuss them in relation to central questions in both general philosophy, and in the philosophy of literature: Do we learn from literature? If we do, are works better as literature if they contain original ideas? Should literary works make us both feel and think? What is the nature of the emotions these works elicit? 

Location:  Pavilion

Dates/Times: Thursday, 11AM, March 5 - March 26

Instructor:  Robert Stecker

Robert Stecker received a Ph.D. in Philosophy from MIT. He is Professor Emeritus at Central Michigan University and the author of five books on the philosophy of art and aesthetics.
