About this course

Being a human in the world comes with a lot of questions: Whyis love so distracting? What is the correct use of power? How can we livetogether in communities? Why is there suffering? In this course we will considerperspectives on these questions and more from around the ancient Mediterraneanpreserved in Mesopotamian and Egyptian advice texts, biblical books likeEcclesiastes and Job, Greek epic poetry, and Roman proverbs. We will alsoconsider where we might find modern parallels to this ancient wisdom literatureand how we might effectively communicate our own wisdom.
