Abstract

Undegraduate courses which cover areas concerning human consciousness are discussed. A course entitled 'understanding suicide', or a literature class on Greek tragedy, and a history class that examines the holocaust can take students to the next level of existence but the experience is unlikely to be fun. In courses like these, the teacher should be considered as a psychoanalyst, whose insight into the patient's condition derives from a lack of emotional involvement in the case.
