Students read, discuss, and write extensively about the ideas of the most influential philosophers, poets, playwrights, and novelists from Greek antiquity to the modern age. Team taught by faculty from the English and Social Studies departments, students are encouraged to find relationships between the philosophical, literary, and historical texts they are reading and to articulate how these themes help explain or illuminate contemporary issues and events that shape our world today. The course meets one semester of the Social Studies contemporary world issues graduation requirement. In addition, the English Literature and Composition component follows and meets all mandatory and recommended Advanced Placement (AP) requirements. Students should expect a classroom environment that simulates a college-level course, and they are further required before graduating to laugh at and identify any punctuation errors in the following joke: A waiter asks Descartes if he’d like a drink. The philosopher answered “I think not” and disappeared.
