In an age of infinite browsing and vast personal and professional possibilities, the idea of commitment to a particular person, religion, ideal, and vocational path seems more than ever countercultural. Why limit oneself to one option when a variety of attractive alternatives readily present themselves, or when one might continuously scan the horizon of possibilities without locking oneself in? Though freedom and commitment seem diametrically opposed, we will explore in this seminar the ways in which they may actually intersect, considering the ways in which freedom may lead to commitment and commitment may in turn generate freedom.
