Rationale:
There is nothing that grounds men and women more concretely than the work of their hands. When Plato claimed that man, more than anything else, is his soul and his capacity to
think, and Aristotle added that his being social and political is what sets him apart, the masters of thought disappointed by missing out on one of the most important aspects of man:
his capacity to create and appreciate these creations (The Authors, Art Appreciation, Rex B.S.)

Course Description:
