Would immortality be desirable? What does it mean to say that a person has died? Why do we lament our post-mortem non-existence but not our pre-natal non-existence? Students will reflect on how our response to the end of life informs our view of the meaning of life and will propose, design, and produce a creative work which offers a view of the meaning of life and is cognizant of the inevitability of death. 3 credit(s).
