LAS 461 - The Art of Contemplation Credit Hours 3
Aristotle argues that contemplation is the aim and fulfillment of a good and happy life. Modern scientific studies similarly indicate that meditative and contemplative practice promotes mental, physical, and spiritual health and development. By providing students access to practical skills in and reflective understanding of meditation and contemplation as found in classical Western Christian and Asian traditions as well as modern applications, this seminar aims to assess the cogency of Aristotle’s doctrine as well as the place and value of these arts in the light of contemporary research and the students’ own experience.
