The Soul, the World, and the Gods
This is a rich and concise introduction to the world (cosmology), the soul (philosophical psychology), and the gods (theology).
The series gives a clear overview of the history of our idea of the world, our concept of life and how it evolved from the idea of the soul in antiquity into the modern self, and of the gods as crucial aspects of human psychology, history, and myth.
It explores how the soul is part of a cosmology we have largely forgotten, a world where humans were connected to the earth, Gaia, as a living intelligence. Our conception of the universe shapes how we think about and care for the Earth and other humans, and this forgotten cosmology has profound wisdom for our ecological crisis. The course as a whole provides a scientifically informed and mythologically sensitive vision of the Life in its individual, earthly, and cosmic dimensions.
