There are many ways to teach people how to be good: commandments, the promise of religious reward, and philosophical reasoning. However, we are also infused with our culture's morals through folk stories. In fact, for centuries, many children have first learned what is morally right and wrong from fairy tales.
Each fairy tale works to reinforce or defy commonly held beliefs and values, with often great rewards for good behavior, and a horrible end for the bad characters. These messages are usually hidden in metaphors.
In this course, we will analyze fairy tales from a variety of perspectives, taking our inspiration from the Dialogue readings. We will use the fairy tales written down by the Grimm brothers, original stories by Charles Perrault,The Little Prince and other authors, compare them to the works of philosophers and religious leaders (Tao Te Ching, Kojiki, Annenberg Popol Vuh, Bhagavad Gita, Plato's Crito, Sermon on the Mount, and/or Sermon at Benares) reflect on what these stories teach us about happiness, honesty, fairness, acceptance and many other values.
