The humanities invite you to join in a great conversation about what it means to be human. There are many ways to explore this topic. This course introduces four topic areas that are important for this examination. They are:
How do we know? http://individual.utoronto.ca/darylculp/how.htm
Self and society (who are we?) http://individual.utoronto.ca/darylculp/whoarewe.htm
What forces shape our world? (natural and social) http://individual.utoronto.ca/darylculp/whatforces.htm
What makes us happy?
How should we live?

Everybody has an opinion about who they are. Some thinkers have developed theories about the standard ways that we can understand ourselves. I invite you to reflect on these ideas and form your own opinion!
