The turn outward represented by Global Perspectives is balanced in
Reflections by a turn inward to consideration of personal values.
As in Global Perspectives we ask
students in Reflections courses to analyze familiar and unfamiliar
systems of thought and belief, but this time in order to explore
their own and others’ ideas about the ultimate meaning and purposes
of our lives.
Because inquiry about human values can
occur in a variety of disciplinary contexts, our students may choose
in their third year from a menu of courses representing
philosophical, religious, artistic, and scientific perspectives.
Each course in its own way addresses foundational questions, linking
provisional answers to descriptions of ethical conduct and an
examined life. |
