Seminar Description

This seminar aims to deeply enrich students by equipping them to transcend the common unexamined notions of freedom as a legal system, great wealth, or the fulfillment of every wish. We will examine this question through close reading and discussion of immortal works that present original insights into freedom through philosophy, psychology, political science, and literature. Ten sessions.

Bruce Gans taught at the City Colleges where he created Great Books Curricula that earned major grants from the NEH and US Department of Education and has been featured in the New York Times and the Wall Street Journal.
