PSY 305 - The Art of Dying
Among the greatest fears in society today is the fear of dying. Using cultural, philosophical, and personal perspectives, students will explore conscious dying as a vehicle for conscious living while critically examining their own narratives on dying. This course will pose questions about the reality of death, language of dying, our relationships to body, and what, if anything, dies. This course also looks at how we die and the shift from fear-based inquiries about the end of life to inquiries which have the capacity to uncover life’s deepest treasures. (3 credits)
