THE 5512 Postmodernism and Culture of Heart Postmodernism offers a critique of culture that, in addition to tearing down the pillars of traditional culture, presents a challenging critique of the Unificationist project to create a new culture. This course discusses the major theorists of post-modernism including Jean-Francois Lyotard, Michael Foucault, Jacques Derrida, and others. Moreover, through critical analyses of the permeation of key ideas of postmodernism into diverse cultural genres, the course explores a possibility of Unificationism as a cultural philosophy. This is a seminar course and enrollment is limited. 3 credits. Dr. Noda. THE 5531 Religion and ScienceThis seminar introduces the student to contemporary developments in the natural sciences with the aim of exploring their implications for a religious worldview. The course will focus on five major areas in which scientific discoveries have provided impetus for theological reflection: Quantum Physics, Cosmology, the Anthropic Principle, Evolutionary Biology and the Mind‑ Body Problem. Scientific issues will be evaluated in terms of their relevance to the religious life and with regard to the pastoral task of explaining Christian and Unification teachings. 2 credits. Dr. Seidel.
