HUM 195-01 - Introductory Special Topic: Introduction to Jewish Thought

4 credits (Fall)

In this course, we will grapple with themes such as ethics, politics, and identity through the lens of “Jewish thought.” To do so, we will explore a range of historical sources, including the Hebrew Bible, medieval philosophy, Enlightenment-era political thought, and modern and contemporary literature, situating them in their historical circumstances and in relation to broader Jewish thought and traditions. This course requires no prior knowledge of Judaism.

Prerequisite: None.
Instructor: Blaber
