PHIL 1102 Work and Human Flourishing
In this one hour Integrative and Experiential Learning course we will explore the role that work or vocation plays in a human flourishing. Students will engage in interdisciplinary and experiential learning activities that will enable them to formulate and articulate their own view of proper role of work or career in their lives and in different human cultures. The course will begin with a historical and conceptual investigation of the concept of work in human society. We will read and discuss classic primary texts from scholars such as Plato, Aristotle, Augustine, Rousseau, Marx, Mill, Martin Luther, John Calvin, and Benjamin Franklin as well as contemporary perspectives. Students will shadow and interview two individuals whose work or career they admire. Students will write three reflective essays and produce a video recording of themselves explaining their own work philosophy.
