Course Description
Looking for meaning in the world and making value judgments is an inescapable part of being human. It is through language that ideas of value are articulated. But the degree to which words are able to give precise meanings is open to dispute. Feelings, emotions, and pre-conceptual thought exist independently of language. Attempts to quantify and measure come up against particular problems when dealing with human society and everyday life, rather than the rest of the natural world. This course introduces qualitative methods, cultural analysis, and value judgment by studying a variety of phenomena such as taste, literature, design, beauty, language, food, art, and photography.
