1 Thomas Epstein Fall 2002 Course Title and Number: Western Cultural Tradition HP Office: Honors Office & Lyons Hall 210 Office Hours: Wednesdays 11:15-1:15 Honors Office, Tuesdays 8:30-9:50 Lyons Hall 210 TEXTS Cervantes Don Quixote Descartes Discourse on Method/Meditations on First Philosophy Diderot Rameau's Nephew//D'Alembert's Dream Erasmus Praise of Folly Milton Paradise Lost Montaigne The Essays: A Selection Pascal Pensées Pico della Mirandola On the Dignity of Man Rousseau The Essential Rousseau Reveries of a Solitary Walker Shakespeare King Lear Hamlet Voltaire Candide and other Stories The Course Overview: This is the first semester of a two semester intellectual and spiritual adventure into the Western Tradition, taking us from the infinite optimism of the Renaissance to the darker utopias that exploded across the world in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Taking a chronological approach, we will try, in the first semester, to gain an understanding of that development of thought and being we associate with the words Renaissance, Reformation, and Enlightenment. Old and new forms of spirituality; old and new understandings of the self and its freedoms and responsibilities; paradises lost and found and lost (and found) again; the rise of Man, science, sentiment and reason: these themes will be our constant companions as we combine close readings of great texts with an attempt to catch the overall drift of several hundred years of Western intellectual history. However, we will seek our goal mindful of its unreachability, and this for at least two reasons: 1) thought and being remaining ineluctably separate on this earth, we can never expect to know everything about anything, mystery remains; and 2) the richness of the tradition itself is such that it requires many years of individual and collective effort in order to be grasped even superficially. The choice of texts I have made, although wide, only begins to suggest the depth of the ferment. This does not mean we will not try to understand three centuries of human development: indeed one of the chief lessons of this course and tradition is that the striving after the impossible, the invisible, and the transcendent is what gives life its richness and ultimate purpose. What's more, in my view it is the duty of each generation to attempt to come to terms, in its own way, with
2 the greatness and horrors that came before it. Indeed I hope that each one of you is already, and will continue to be, engaged in the process of establishing his or her own canon of texts, sounds, and images that will help to provide an intellectual-spiritual context in which to live. We will begin this semester, quite appropriately, with two writers who expressed the new feeling for life in the old language, Latin: Pico della Mirandola and Erasmus. We will then proceed, as the syllabus indicates, to Luther, Machiavelli, and Montaigne, and then on to Shakespeare, the crown jewel of the English Renaissance. After that we will proceed into the more critical and daunting (and perhaps daunted) 17th century before devoting most of the second half of the semester to that crucial moment in Western history, the Enlightenment. Although our primary focus will be on the written word, we will also, at strategic moments, turn to music, architecture and visual art in order better to understand and appreciate the synchrony and sometimes dissonance that marks cultural development. We will also see four movies: two film versions of King Lear (Scofield s and Kurowsawa s Japanese interpretation, Ran), François Truffaut's The Wild Child, and Werner Herzog's The Mystery of Kaspar Hauser. Alongside these activities we will also be reading, and occasionally discussing as a commentary on our entire course, perhaps the greatest novel of the Western Canon: Don Quixote. Format: This course is designed as a modified seminar: discussion/dialogue will be our primary mode of interchange. As your instructor I will, I trust appropriately, serve as a seminar member, catalyst for discussion, and at times lecturer when the need arises. It is absolutely essential that you put your hearts and souls into our meetings, as I promise I will. We will be covering a large amount of material and reading masterpieces of many stripes: in order to avoid the pitfall of superficiality we must all be prepared to read, think, and converse both critically and attentively. Course Requirements and Grading: The syllabus assumes that you will devote no less than two hours of preparation time for each hour we meet, eight hours per week in total. I will also ask each of you to 1) write a 5-7 page paper on one of Shakespeare s plays; 2), a 7 page take-home midterm comprised of several short to medium length essays; 3) hand in over the course of the semester four two-page personal reflections on your reading 4) write a final paper of 7-10 pages (subject to be determined in consultation with the instructor); and 5) take an in-class final. Written work will count for sixty-five percent of your grade; class attendance and participation the rest Tuesday, September 3 Introduction / Movie: A Man for all Seasons Thursday, September 5 Pico de la Mirandola On the Dignity of Man, On Being and the One Machiavelli (handout)

Moreover, as you know, the Honors Program is one of the last bastions not only of great
6 books, but LONG great books. With these things in mind, we are going to read Don Quixote over a semester and a half, with monthly discussions of our reading culminating in a discussion of Don Quixote and the Tradition in March. Here are the readings: September 9-16 : Author s Preface and Chapters 1-6 September16-23: Chapters 7-13 September 23-30: Chapters September 30-October 7: Chapters19-21 DISCUSS Thursday October 3 October 7-14: Chapters October 14-21: Chapters October 21-28: Chapters October 28-November 4: Chapters DISCUSS Thursday November 7 November 4-11: Chapters November 11-18: Chapters November 18-25: Chapters November 25-December 2: Chapters DISCUSS Thursday December 5 December 2-9: Chapters 51-2 December 9-16: Chapters 3-8 December : Chapters 9-13 December 23-30: Chapters 1418 December 30-January 6: Chapters January 6-January 13: Chapters DISCUSS Tuesday January 14 January 13-20: Chapters January 20-27: Chapters January 27-February 3: Chapters February 3-10 Chapters DISCUSS Thursday February 13 February 10-17: Chapters February 17-24: Chapters February 24-March 3: Chapters March 4-10: Chapters March 10-17: Chapters 70-end (hurrah) DISCUSS Thursday March 20
