Honors Seminar: Thinking, Fighting, Ruling, Writing: Whats the Best Life? In considering the question of what the best life for a human being is, Aristotle suggests the political life and the contemplative life as the two serious contenders; others might suggest piety and poetry have claims of their own. In this course we will think about that question with the help of some very interesting individuals who have been both extraordinary political actors and serious thinkers and writers. Possible texts for the course might be Xenophon's Anabasis (with the movie The Warriors) and Memorabilia, Homer's Odyssey (with the movie O Brother Where Art Thou?), Churchill's My Early Life, T.E. Lawrence's Seven Pillars of Wisdom (with the movie Lawrence of Arabia), and 1 and 2 Samuel (with the Psalms).
