COURSES – SPRING 2026 (Under Dev) / History and Philosophy / EXPLORATIONS IN PHILOSOPHY AND LITERATURE

Coordinators: Larry Shapiro, Steve Allen, Bob Belfort

For each session, we will read an essay, classic short story, or excerpt from a play.

Some of our sessions focus on how philosophy addresses current controversial issues. Some of our sessions focus on writing by classic or contemporary authors addressing questions of perennial concern. All of our sessions feature lively discussions of readings selected for stimulating ideas and insights into social relations and human nature.
