Essential Questions
What is the nature of memory? What is its relationship to imagination? How and to what extent do we control it, and how and to what extent does it control us?
What are the limits of personal / individual / autonomous moral agency? In other words, at which point does one no longer have the right to decide right and wrong for oneself?
How do we transmit — or avoid transmitting — our burdens to the next generation? How do we bear the burdens passed to us? What are the consequences of inherited burdens?
What constitutes moral action when immorality reigns?
