	HNRS 401 Honors Tutorial & Colloquium I Division of Liberal Arts 1.5 credits undefined hours 400 level undergraduate course The Honors Thesis Tutorial and Colloquia make up the final coursework for completion of the Honors Program at the University of the Arts. The course is comprised of two 1.5 credit seminars taken during the Honor Scholar’s final two semesters before graduating from the University. The Honors Thesis is a major research thesis that develops an idea, a concern, or a proposition in support of a significant creative project in the Scholar’s field of study and is intended to demonstrate the culmination of the Scholar’s education at the University. The tutorial and colloquia replace traditional course work at the University with an intense and independent student-centered educational opportunity that permits Honors Scholars to independently explore their scholarly and creative interests under the direction of a Faculty Tutor at their own pace and intensity and provides the opportunity to create professional relationships between students and accomplished scholars, artists, designers and performers in their fields. In addition to the Faculty Tutor, Scholars will work with a Professional Mentor from their field. During the first semester of the Honors Thesis Tutorial and Colloquium scholars work one-on-one with a Faculty Tutor from their program to develop a proposal for their Honors Thesis. Senior Honors Scholars will convene as a group in colloquia conducted by the Honors Program Director four times throughout the term to discuss issues related to their work and present their work as it progresses toward a completed and approved thesis proposal. During the second semester of the Honors Thesis Tutorial and Colloquium students continue to work one-on-one with their Faculty Tutor and with a Professional Mentor to develop their thesis into a tangible, concrete creative expression to be publicly presented, performed, exhibited and critiqued at the end of the term. Again, senior Honors Scholars will convene as a group in colloquia four times throughout the term to discuss issues related to their work and present their work as it progresses toward their completed project. The Honors Thesis Tutorial and Colloquia have three central goals: 1) to create close tutorial relationships between University Faculty and Honors Scholars; 2) to challenge Scholars intellectually and creatively through their work with Faculty Tutors and Professional Mentors; and 3) to strengthen Scholars’ abilities in conducting independent research with the realization of the depth of understanding that is required to form a solid foundation from which to create. The Tutorial and Colloquium are designed to foster scholarly insight and debate and to nurture the intellectual passions of students and faculty alike. This course is not repeatable for credit.

	HUMS 210 The Quest for True Self in the Arts Division of Liberal Arts 3 credits 45.0 hours 200 level undergraduate course This course explores the attempts of the artist to achieve true or authentic selfhood through art. The point of departure is the contention that true self is not simply given with existence but must be won, and can be lost. This problem has been variously expressed, for example in Paul Tillich’s assertion: Man’s predicament is the situation of the estrangement of man from his true being. The struggle of the artist to grapple with this contradiction in some of its fundamental forms will be the focus of the course. Among the issues to be explored are: whether artistic creation, even at the highest level, is able to mitigate or resolve the inherent estrangement of the self; the conflict between the need for solitude in order to create and the consequent loneliness that many artist experience; the intrusion of love and domestic demands on artistic creativity; the question of whether ethical values or aesthetic values take precedence when the two conflict; and the struggle for the true selfhood in circumstances of political oppression or tyranny. Prerequisites *LACR102 or LACR103* Priority enrollment for students who have not yet completed the HUMS/LACR210 LA Core requirement.* This course is not repeatable for credit.

	HUMS 211 Us Vs. Them Division of Liberal Arts 3 credits 45.0 hours 200 level undergraduate course The course explores the results of encounters and confrontations between the Western World and other cultures through reading of historical and literary texts. Herodotus’ perspective on the Greek and the Persians, Tacitus’ appraisal of Roman and Germanic diversity, Polo’s observation of the Mongol empire, De las Casas’ dissenting voice on the Spanish ‘Conquista’ of the Americas, the nineteenth century European exploitation of Congo and the complex relationship between French colonists and natives in twentieth century Algeria, all are experiences that define western identity. Despite the overwhelming sense of western superiority displayed by most of the writers, we also hear voices of self doubt. At least there is among some of them of uneasy acceptance of the present status of affairs. In brief, this course aims to show that meeting the others became a provoking experience and a mirror of the western self in the positive and negative. Prerequisites *LACR102 or LACR103* This course is not repeatable for credit. This course cannot be taken pass/fail.

	HUMS 214 Rule Brittannia Division of Liberal Arts 3 credits 45.0 hours 200 level undergraduate course In one of Great Britain’s unofficial national anthems, ‘Rule Britannia,’ the lyrics proclaim, ‘The nations, not so blest as thee, /Must in their turn to tyrants fall, /While thou shalt flourish, shalt flourish great and free, /the dread and envy of them all.’ Whether it was its navy, its political philosophy, or its civil service, for a long period of time the sun never set on the British Empire. Our course, Rule Britannia, examines the progress and decline of imperial Britain from the end of the eighteenth century to the near conclusion of the twentieth century. The ebb and flow of this investigation covers a vast expanse of accounts of conquest, settlement, collaboration, resistance, enrichment, and rejection.

	HUMS 216 The Good Life Division of Liberal Arts 3 credits 45.0 hours 200 level undergraduate course How does a person live his or her life? What goals does he or she aspire to achieve? And what norms is he or she guided by in pursuit of those goals? What, in short, is the ‘good life?’ This course will examine three different versions of the good life from Western social and cultural history to see what they are, how they differ, and whether they have anything to teach us about living our lives today. We begin with classical virtue in the culture of ancient Greece and Rome where we will examine works of philosophy and tragedy. We then move to the Christian revolution in conceptions of virtue evidenced in scripture, epic poetry, and painting. We conclude with the modern era and the rise of bourgeois or middle-class conceptions of virtue in autobiography and the novel.

	HUMS 217 The Search for Wisdom: Philosophy As a Way of Life Division of Liberal Arts 3 credits 45.0 hours 200 level undergraduate course This course sets out from the Ancient Greek idea that philosophy is first of all the search for wisdom, or how to lead the best life possible. The course’s primary focus is how a varuiety of thinkers, from the 16th century to recent times, have attempted to recover the idea that philosophy is first a quest for a practical wisdom, or a way of life. After looking at a few ancient precedentsm the course concentrates on Montaigne, Deccartes, Goethe, Thoreau, Nietzsche, James, Wittgenstein, and Weill.
