Description: Freshmen Seminar. According to the German philosopher Hegel, love-stories are usually about a young man who seeks the ideal girl, finally gets her, and becomes as good a Philistine as others. The course invites students to examine this philosophical wisdom by reading select stories and theoretical texts about love and passion by European authors from the time of Shakespeare to the present. Taught in English. Cross-list: FSEM 129.
