"Human Dilemmas" presents students with the recurring dilemmas that define and shape
our lives, including "Who Am I?" "What Exactly Am I?" "What Is My Relationship to

teaching the seminar has sought to challenge conventional assumptions surrounding
the human condition to help students develop an understanding of what it means to
be human in contemporary times.
