Why am I here? What is the soul? Who or what is God? What is the meaning of life? How can I find my path in the world? These enduring questions are ones humans have asked themselves for millennia. By exploring such questions, we can gain a deeper understanding of the universe, the sacred and ourselves. Not a comparative religion class, this is instead a "thought" course, one which pushes students to delve deeply into their own personal beliefs concerning society, the sacred, their place in the scheme of the universe and how to live a just and honorable life. This semi-historical approach looks into the realms of the mystical through the study of literature, artifacts and sacred texts. Discussions, guest speakers, ideaprovoking videos, in-depth journaling and presentations challenge the students to expand their awareness by considering diverse viewpoints on the sacred and humanity's role in the world. This course fulfills the Ethics/Philosophy requirement for the General Core.
