Description

Guided by a vision of original and ultimate oneness/wholeness, challenged by our personal and communal experience of its historical demise, and committed to our human task of helping to reweave it. The primary texts will invite us into the world of literature and our own lives, allowing each to inform, critique and interpret the other. Course content and methodology will engage students in the history of ideas, which will unfold through the literature of the Romantic, Baroque, Modern and Post-Modern periods, where we will discover more about the beliefs and perceptions that shaped human understanding of the (natural/supernatural) world and our relationship to it. The trajectory of studies will lead to our contemporary situation and its evolutionary worldview. From such a vantage point, we will conclude the course in poetic appreciation of mystery and uncertainty, affect and intellect, the spiritual and the material?all vital threads in weaving the tapestry of human and planetary wholen
