PSYC367
Seminar on Consciousness Development
PSYC367 SP
Not Currently Offered
What is raised during consciousness-raising? The course
will emphasize a social rather than individual definition of
consciousness, i.e., the relation of individual development
to historical development. Hence, in discussing the lack of
consciousness, emphasis will be put on alientation rather
than Freud's unconscious, or so-called altered states of
consciousness. In other words, this is NOT a course for the
study of drugs, yoga, etc. Material will be drawn from
autobiography, biography, oral history, and psychological
theory.
MAJOR READINGS
Will be tailored to individual students.
