Required gateway course for Philosophical and Literary Thought; crosslisted in departments sponsoring the Philosophy and Literature track. Majors should register in their home department; non-majors may register in any sponsoring department.

Readings are drawn from literature and film, philosophical theories of art, and stylistically interesting works of philosophy.
