عن المقرر

Heroism and modernity Course aims to explore anthropological, philosophical and theological changes experienced by modern man at the decisive moment of transition from mythical age to the modern age. when natural empirical science begins to replace traditional metaphysical explanations of the world, we cease to believe in the myth of creation. There’s seemingly no foundation any longer for the meaning and value of things, including ethical values, good and evil. Through conversations and discussions, we will be exploring an array of readings, ranging from philosophical analysis and commentary on literature and films that breakdown and illustrate the progression of the hero figure throughout history.
