Description:

This course will explore the ecological crisis from a religious/ethical perspective, examining the dangers and new possibilities posed for humanity and the planet. We will consider the new cosmology developing from science, and its dialogue with philosophy, myth, and religion. Participants will look critically at traditional Western spirituality and discover elements of a new correlation with nature religions and with new environmentalism. Students will learn how religion(s) has been part of the problem and how it can become a resource for the solution as well. Pre-1999 Competencies: AL-5, AL-C, AL-G, PW-M.
