Introduction to Humanities II

Today we first broke up into groups so everyone could exchange information and begin helping one another in teams for the term project. If you missed this please make sure you get into a group since that is one of the requirements for the Term Project for the course. Following this we discussed Psychoanalytic Theory and I played a bit of the movie When Nietzsche Wept but we concentrated on Freud and his talking cure. We also talked about his atheism and took a moment to review the upcoming writing assignment that includes Freud's point of view as one of the topics. We then looked at the video How to Read A Gothic Cathedral which beautifully explains the symbolism of the art on the facades of Gothic Cathedrals. Here we attempted to understand the Augustinian Theological perspective behind that art and contrast it with what might be the perspective of someone from Freud's point of view. The quiz question was have you ever been saved and what does being saved mean to you?
