Metodología
The purpose of this course is to provide students with a time and a space for humanistic growth and learning. A variety of subjects will be explained and discussed, both as a source of knowledge in themselves and, more importantly, as a springboard for another level of learning: a set of principles with which to navigate successfully through life's dilemmas and uncertainties.
Each session will be devoted to a specific topic or event of artistic, economic or historical importance. The focus of the lecture will be to explain the context, causes, consequences, artistic movement to which it belongs or economic theory that explains it. Next, moving from large to small and from to general to personal, we will open a discussion to try to extract, with everyone's insight, a lesson or a principle enlightening and useful enough for us to want to remember and include in our "life philosophy". The discussions will be enriched with the ideas obtained from a weekly reading assignment: a short story by some of Literature's best writers (Flaubert, Tolstoi, Twain, Dostoeivski¿).
Each student will be able to draw his or her own conclusions, but an essential part of the course will be the discussions to try to agree on a common list of principles that we consider useful for living a fulfilling life. Throughout these discussions the professor will enforce only one requirement: that all proposals are guided by a desire for self-improvement.
