Philosophy 444/544: Wisdom

==Prompts for Experiential Learning==

Course Description: This course in comparative philosophy studies the relationship between wisdom and contemplative practice in three major philosophical/religious traditions: Greek/Hellenic, Judeo/Christian, and Yogic/Samkhya. Students will acquire both a general understanding of the concept of wisdom in each tradition and a specific understanding of how each of these traditions connects wisdom to practice. Within Hellenistic philosophies we will examine the "exercises" recommended to achieve virtue and sagehood. Within Yogic practice we will look at the philosophical connection between asanas and other practices and enlightenment. Likewise, for the Christian tradition, Ignatian Spirituality will be studied in terms of its relationship to achieving wisdom. Students will have the option of choosing experiential learning in one or more of these practices. A required final project will help students articulate their own theory of wisdom in response to the traditions studied. On the basis of their view of wisdom, students will articulate the role of "right action" or "justice" in their future lives and plans.
