This writing-intensive course continues the intellectual odyssey of Enduring Questions into the medieval and early modern West, Middle East, and East, as students delve into the legacies of warriors, pilgrims, mystics, and reformers. Students engage with courtly cultures, honor, and romance, as well as travelogues and encounters with what is perceived as strange and foreign, pondering: "Who has access to transcendence?" and "How does the imagination contribute to the search for truth and happiness?" Prerequisites: QUEST 115.
