Good and Evil

Are people born knowing right and wrong, good and evil? What does ?evil? look like, and do you know it when you see it? This course will investigate how humans have represented ?good,? ?evil,? and related concepts across a variety of cultural contexts throughout time. Concerns guiding our readings may include the suffering of the innocent, the existence of evil, and the development of a moral consciousness and responsibility. We may also consider how discourses of good and evil shape and are in turn shaped by race, gender, and class.
