The development of an undergraduate course on the art of choosing.

My project consists in developing a new undergraduate level course fostering intellectual community through the study of "the art of choosing." The question of choice, both individual and collective, is a fundamental and enduring question in human life. This course is designed to offer a better understanding of it through deep and sustained readings in the humanities.
