New York Evening Core Program: Core Moments at the Intersection of Philosophy, Literature and Art II Fundamental philosophical questions stand at the core of the Core. Among the most important of these are: What sorts of beings are we? Is there a goal to life and, if so, how do we discover it? Are we all equally capable of attaining that goal? Drawing on elements from Lit Hum, Art Hum, and CC, this course discusses these questions at three distinct “core moments.” Each evening will explore its moment as an intersection between philosophy, literature, and art. |
