Institution:

California Institute of Integral Studies

Subject:

Description:

The mirror is an object that appears repeatedly in mythology, world religions, and spiritual traditions, and literature and visual arts. It has also played important roles in the development of psychology, science, and cosmology. This course will examine mirrors as symbols of divinity and power, implements of distortion and expansion, and tools for discovery and self-reflection. Course assignments will support students in their study of an aspect of the mirror in a cultural context of their choosing, and encourage them to apply it to their own culture and contemporary lives.
