Course Description

　　In this class, we will take simultaneously diverse films, novels and philosophical books that pose new visions in Japan and the world.
　　Each lecture is assembled to introduce several kinds of works at the same time. By continuing and accumulating learning to summarize excellent work contents and their own considerations briefly, students acquire the basic attitude of cultural studies to philosophically consider Japanese culture and human culture.
　　In the fall semester, we will more deeply study the theme related to life and death that make up Japanese culture.
