HONR-3560 (3) Science and Mysticism

Has modern science proven or validated the mystical religious experience? Or does a basic conflict remain between these diverse human endeavors? The similarities and differences between science and mysticism will be investigated through readings, discussions and practical, experiential exercises. Discussions and exercises will be designed to encourage both an intellectual and a non-intellectual understanding of the course material. Prerequisites: A minimum 3.3 cum GPA is required for this Honors class or you must be part of the first year student group.
