Teachers and Their Teachings: From Socrates to Foucault
COL104 FA

This course is about teachers and students and powerful ideas; it is also about maturation, longing, power, deception and self-deception. We will be asking important questions about the educative process, examining different models of what that has meant for those who presume to teach, as well as for those who crave deeper understanding, from the time when Socrates provoked the young with unsettling questions to Michel Foucault's teaching that the expression of sexuality is socially constructed.
