CNX 174 - Better Worlds

Description
The concept of a world radically “better” than our own has a long history. Are we morally obligated to pursue such a world? What dangers lie in seeking the better world’s realization? Is a better world even possible? In this course, we will consider not only various efforts to envision or realize the better world through a range of disciplinary approaches but also the role such efforts play in society. We will emphasize critical analysis of texts, formulating evidence-based arguments, writing skills, and civil dialogue.
