Eric Jacobson

Can’t say I’ve ever had a class like this since. Jacobson is a total beast. Hannah Arendt? Yes, please. Went snowshoeing. Character-building class. It was a deep dive into a philosophical question with a philosophical guy — and some philosophical try hards sprinkled in. But, overall, I became a better writer. We lived, we laughed, we loved.

I really enjoyed taking the class because it was a very unique class that Middlebury does not usually offer. Professor Jacobson was incredibly passionate about the topics he taught and it showed when he gave lectures. Midd should give him more classes to teach!!!

I very much enjoyed this course and Jacobson was very interesting. I clung to every word he said. The readings were long but quite useful. The only reason why I can imagine this course got bad reviews is that it does require work unlike most other j-term courses. If you want j-term play-term, maybe take another course. However, I recommend this to anyone who has any interest in political/philosophical theory or history.
