HUM-3290: Prophetic Voices, Future Visions

This course will explore dimensions of the prophetic imagination across time and cultures in search for clues or messages for our current era and the future. What has the wisdom of the past predicted? What can we learn from these voices? As a class, we will explore literature, poetry, historical accounts, philosophy, depth psychology, and sacred texts from a wide array of sources including: indigenous spiritualities from around the globe, Taoism, Hinduism, Buddhism, the Abrahamic traditions, science fiction, technological forecasts, and several compelling modern accounts. At the end of the course, students will engage their prophetic imagination by writing a prophecy or vision of the future uniquely their own. This class encourages students to consider the larger scope of psychological history while accessing a fascinating spiritual landscape encoded with vital knowledge regarding humanity’s way forward. This is a “W” (writing emphasis) class in which students will develop tools to improve their academic writing.
