このクラスで学べること
In the novel "Persuasion," Anne Elliott becomes engaged to Captain Wentworth when she is quite young, but is talked out of marrying him by Lady Russell, who is a mother figure to Anne. After this experience, Captain Wentworth decides that changeability is a vice, and he doesn't respect anyone who changes their mind like that. In this session, we will talk about how Austen's novel raises questions about the difference between influence and persuasion. Who should have influence over another person, and who should not? What does it mean in today's society to be a professional "influencer?" We will also talk about why it might sometimes be a good thing to change your mind, even about something very important. And we will connect this discussion to the political philosophy of John Stuart Mill, and his ideas about freedom of speech.

Students should have read the novel "Persuasion" before taking this class, because there will be spoilers! Another option would be to watch the excellent 1995 movie, starring Amanda Root and Ciaran Hinds, which is available on various streaming services.
