Description

Introduces students to "wisdom traditions" that have been with us for the past 6,000 years, shaping our culture, history, humanity and divinity. Students will explore the traditions of indigenous cultures (Aborigines, Native Americans), Hindus, Buddhists, Chinese (Confucianism, Taoism), Muslims, and the Judaism and Christianity. The readings will allow students to see life through ?other?. The goal of all wisdom traditions is to help us become more authentic people. This course will allow students to understand and appreciate the spiritual journey as a universal human endeavor to deal with the large and small questions of life. (New course Summer 2011.)
