    That would be a fun class. I've always thought it telling in sociological terms that our real passion as a nation is American football, a really brutal sport that's gladiatorial in its transformation of the human into mere flesh for consumption.

    Is your ethics course a general one, or field-specific? I remember reading the Nicomachean Ethics as an undergrad and really finding it compelling. I lean much more toward Nietzsche now, but still like Aristotle.

      The Ethics course is a general survey and we will be reading Nicomachean Ethics. I'm actually going through Nietzsche, Josiah Royce and John Dewey this year for my own personal research. I didn't get much Nietzsche in school, except Genealogy of Morals. I had to deal a little bit with Royce and Dewey though so I am familiar with them and just about all the classical American Pragmatist except Pierce. Just trying to shore up some areas.

        Genealogy of Morals was on my undergrad reading list in the ethics. I fell in love with Zarathustra as well. The Portable Nietzsche is a good one to have in the collection.

        The thing people don't get about Nietzsche unless they read him is that he has a profound sense of joy, and he's very funny. He gets a bad rap for his departure from the commonplaces of theologically-based ethics because lots of people don't have the stomach to bear the notion of having to live well without someone/thing else telling you to do so.

        In that connection, I recently read Camus's The Myth of Sisyphus and was intrigued by it.

              One of the best courses i took in college was Psychology of Sport. Dealt with basically the science of performance, and how and when people are able to perform at the highest levels, and what traits are really important in predicting success. Troj, did you ever audit any courses over in the KNES dept. while you were at UMD?

                  No, my undergrad was at a super small liberal arts college, and once I got to UMD is was straight doctoral coursework in literature.

                  I took one KNES course in undergrad for kicks and really liked it. I remember being fascinated with the science of strength, speed, etc. If I didn't to English, I would love to do something related to sports like what LBz is doing. But that would require the side of my brain that handles numbers working above the level of a child. Unfortunately that part is broken . I had to learn some trigonometry on the fly for that class, and that's easily the hardest I had to work in any undergrad class.
