UAENV 108 EGP - Worldviews of Ecology

4 Credit(s)

This course will expose students to philosophies from non-Western spiritual traditions and from indigenous peoples to examine their responses to three profound questions: What is the Universe and the Earth? Who are humans and why are we here? How should we live? The course begins with a study of India’s history and culture, and provides a context for a critical examination of how non-western spiritual traditions view the natural environment and the Earth. Students will then examine indigenous peoples’ views of the same.

Prerequisite(s): completion of the T tag.
