L.LIB 230 - Monastery Voices-CT


Credits: 3

What are monasteries, what role have they played in history, and what insights about the need for reflective time can they offer the rest of us in our busy modern lives? How have monks and nuns–seemingly “separated” from the world for so much of their lives–been able to speak with such clarity on social and civic issues? These are the kinds of questions to be pursued in Monastery Voices as students study the background of monasteries, read the works of Thomas Merton and other modern/contemporary world-savvy contemplatives, and investigate related topics through group research and presentations.
