Sr Sem: Religious Pluralism

3 Credits · Level: Undergraduate

Taking the world’s religious and philosophical traditions as our guide, this seminar explores different conceptions of human flourishing. From the role of friends and family in a good life to virtues like gratitude and generosity, a variety of themes will guide us, including the importance of rituals and traditions, nature, and forgiveness. In addition to texts from a variety of traditions, we will also examine lived experiences of human flourishing today, from the simplicity embraced by Amish communities to the practices that define Ignatian spirituality.
