This course studies ideas shaping the contemporary world and arguments that invigorate and challenge our sense of what it means to live as an individual, citizen, and member of the complex, multifaceted, volatile global society. The focus is on these issues as they have arisen in a Canadian context; it studies the contribution of Canadian thinkers to global debates; and it challenges students to articulate their own responses to central issues of the contemporary experience.
