There are multiple ways of viewing, interpreting, and participating in the world. This course explores some of these alternative modes or ways of being in the world. Attention will be given to mythological-religious, ethical, aesthetic, and scientific consciousness as different approaches to understanding the world. Characteristics unique to each mode of thought, as well as qualities which connect these modes of thought, will be examined. Both the strengths and limitations of each perspective will be considered.
