Event Details
The library’s digital content includes The Great Courses, a video-on-demand service for lifelong learners.
Each month we’ll meet 4 times to sample a portion of one of the many courses offered available in our Great Courses collection.
Meetings will consist of a 30 minute video lecture, followed by a discussion.
In February we’ll cover the 1st four lectures from Understanding the Dark Side of Human Nature, a presentation by Professor Daniel Breyer
We can’t fully appreciate what it means to be human unless we come to terms with our dark side.
This course tries to do just that, starting with a discussion of our fundamental nature.
Are we fundamentally good, bad, or something in between?
This question will lead us to consider the nature of evil and think about what, if anything, makes someone evil.
Explore the dark side of our human nature through the lenses of philosophy, theology, and science, guided by an expert with a global perspective.
Lecture 2 Our Fundamental Nature: “Good or Evil”?
Wednesday Feb 8th 10:15 a.m. 11:30 a.m.
