| In this course, we trace how biblical conceptions of evil and Satan change from the Old Testament or Hebrew Bible to the New Testament. We examine how Classical and medieval thinking is reflected in selections from Thomas Aquinas’ On Evil. Next we consider the importance in Western culture of the appealing devil figures in Milton’s Paradise Lost and Goethe’s Faust. Then we revisit Shakespeare’s Othello for a closer analysis of one of the Bard’s most hellish characters. We explore modern thought by focusing on Emerson’s surprising take on personal evil, and a contemporary dialogue including C.S. Lewis’s Screwtape Letters, selections from Hannah Arendt’s Eichmann in Jerusalem, a psycho-historical study of Adolph Hitler, the literary success of the sympathetic fictional killer Tom Ripley, and Lance Morrow and others’ post 9/11 reflections on the changing facets of evil. |

This course will deal with the origins of the most notable (i.e. about twenty) of the 88 present day constellations and the Greco-Roman myths associated with them. We will also discuss the astronomical phenomena located within each of these constellations. If possible, a nighttime sky observing session will be held.

We will explore the ways in which New York City has always served as a microcosm of all that is positive - and much that is negative - in American life, as well as the ways in which it has always been a "World City.

| The course will examine the major political and social changes that took place in the 1960s. We will look at the personalities that defined a tumultuous decade in the 20th century and will evaluate what effect, if any, these changes had on our national psyche and current political and social structures. In pursuing these ideas we will develop effective research methods and refine and improve writing styles. Prerequisite: WRIT101, Writing Seminar 1. |
