DESCRIPTION
This course aims to help students discover ways to come to terms - both individually and collectively - with the tensions of living in a modern globalized society. It draws on the wisdom we inherit from a lineage of great teachers and thinkers in the past, from different traditions, to seek guidance on how to live better as citizens of the world, and as human beings, confronted by rapid technological change, cultural diversity, environmental degradation, organized violence, and economic insecurity.
