Note: Have you heard about ChatGPT and other AI (artificial intelligence) systems that can write essays in seconds? As the technology improves, these systems are changing the way we write. In this writing course, we will explore how we can use GPT and other LLMs to help make us better writers and to develop our critical thinking as we explore the topic of aesthetics. Since Aristotle, philosophers have recognized that a well-lived life (what was sometimes termed a beautiful, ethical life) is tied inextricably to notions of the aesthetic and the beautiful; those parts of life that are enthralling, spiritually enriching, artistically compelling. WRIT 150: Issues in Aesthetics provides students with hands-on, workshop-intensive instruction in writing, critical reasoning, and analytical and rhetorical skills through the lens of art and beauty, affording students a deeper, richer, and more individualized insight into notions of the aesthetic.
