The goal of this class is to explore the nature of beauty in our lives, our environments, and the world at large. Through the examination of art, philosophy, mathematics, computer science, and linguistics, we will discuss the vastness of meaning tied to love, beauty, morality, and culture, and determine threads of connectivity between these things. We will offer multiple perspectives on many topics, and hopefully, very hopefully, the student in this course will exit with nuanced addition to their perspective on life. This class caters to individuals with inclinations towards the cross-disciplinary, an openness to strangeness, and an appreciation for their fellow traveler.
This class will contain the following assignments:
- An essay, considering the application or connection of ideas/theoretical frameworks discussed in class
- An artistic project, of which the medium and content will be determined by the student
- A final exam
- Multiple small written assignments, or "language-games"
No day(s) left until application deadline!
