HONU 320-321 - Exploring the Invisible: Art, Science, and the Spiritual each

Institution:

Chestnut Hill College

Subject:

Description:

Science, spirituality, and art share a common source: the human desire to know, even what is invisible to the eye, and the creativity needed to explore. In this course, we will focus on the human effort to investigate the invisible world. By means of an historical approach, we will trace the methods used by artists, scientists, and mystics throughout the ages to engage the human quest for understanding. This includes questions such as where we have come from, who we are, what we are made of, and how we relate with our world. We will note how wrestling with these ultimate questions continually leads to a deeper probing of both our human experience and the material world and motivates not only the continual validation of the data in light of the conditions of our time but also the persistent exploration into the mystery of the cosmic becoming. Offered 2008-2009.
