The 500 series of courses introduce the foundational theory of the human being and present practical and helpful ideas for discussion and consideration.

POS 501 Philosophy Applied in Living Life

Every human being lives life in light of the reality that there are aspects of living that are universal among human beings. Each person takes action according to his/her own uniqueness within those common aspects. The words, philosophy applied, refer to the known or unknown reasons a person has for taking actions in living life day by day. Examples of questions studied are: Who am I? What is my purpose? How do I DO life now? (16 hours)


POS 502 Theory of Moving in Esca

This theory presents the view of the human being that is anchored in the premises of dignity; the knowing of self; and the power to take action in living life. The student will be introduced to the components, concepts, processes and subprocesses of the theory. Terminology will be defined and a unique perspective of being human will be considered. (16 hours)


POS 503 Human Relationships through Life

From the moment of conception through all the decades of life, a person lives in relationship with others. The nature of these relationships is studied from a universal philosophical viewpoint as one's unique perspectives are considered. Universal and unique aspects of the human condition, elements of the nature of woman and the nature of man, the power of the human will, and the concept of caring, form core content of this stoa. (16 hours)
