When Offered: Fall; Spring
GEN ED: Integrative Learning Experience (Theme: “How We Tell Stories”)
This course will examine the ways in which stories may be used to express or examine philosophical ideas.

This course will enable students to recognize such themes in works of fiction and will provide them with the vocabulary needed to analyze and understand those concepts.
