In this course we are surveying ideas and theories on the human being and on core aspects of human life across diverse religious and philosophical traditions, including more recent scientific accounts. We consider classic discussions involving issues such as the body and the soul, the relationship of humans with the world, notions of time and history, freedom and determinism, gender, the tension between the society and the individual, human religiosity, human knowledge, human morality and the value of humans. For this purpose, we make use of a selection of the greatest classic and modern texts, including literary and artistic works, and samples of popular discourses on the topics considered. The course aims at providing insights on implicit conceptions that underpin many contemporary discussions, discourses and narratives about different aspects of human existence.
