With China's (limited) recognition of market forces, Capitalism is the predominant economic system throughout the world. It is true that the way it is implemented and the degree to which it is restricted varies a great deal, country by country. And it is also true that the system is faced with challenges, country by country, as circumstances change. Several new books and news analyses have been written recently that explore those challenges as they are unfolding in the U.S. Many voices are offering widely differing resolution suggestions. This course will review those writings and consider their proposed resolutions.

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe (1749-1832) returned again and again to the legend of the Renaissance scholar who makes a deal with the devil. The stakes could not be higher: in return for unlimited knowledge and experiences, earthly power, youth, and sensual gratification - eternal damnation, signed in blood. Faust, Goethe's magnum opus, continues to captivate readers and theater-goers for its range of observations about the world, insights into human nature, exquisite mastery of German, wisdom and ultimately its optimism. Our text is the well received parallel translation in paperback by Walter Kaufmann, Goethe's Faust (Doubleday/Anchor Books: New York, London, 1961 ff).
Taught in English, with limited enrollment and seminar format, this class will appeal to the curious, reflective and open-minded reader who enjoys lively discussion.

Course Description: We will survey six modes of epic in modern times (1800 to the present): (1) epics of deep civility; (2) amoral aspirations--beyond good and evil; (3) humanist revolt and devastating warfare; (4) social-psychological dislocation; (5) meaningful interplay of cultures; (6) visionary epic. The challenge of this ambitious study is in determining -- as a group -- whether epic is possible in the modern era, and which writers have achieved such a standard.
