J – Philosophy and Religion
Wilmington (Arsht Hall) | September 9, 2026-December 9, 2026
Wednesday: 10:45 AM-12:00 PM
What is “evil”? Why do humans do evil? Must we be wicked? While we cover six thousand years of human history, the present face of evil in our world will always be lurking in our examination. We probe how humans have conceived of evil, how we’ve grappled with it, and how we’ve opposed it. And, not least, we continually hold out the question, “Where can hope be found?” Our DVD lecturer is Professor Charles Mathewes of the University of Virginia.
This offering meets for a total of 13 session(s).
