In his courses, Robert Bourgeois brings to bear the universe story, history, and culture as forces which shape behavior and perception. A principal aim is the application of logical criteria to the evaluation of multiple cultural narratives, those of our Western inheritance and those of others. One premise of his courses is that a citizen of the United States is also a citizen of the planet. Another premise is the urgency of resisting materialist narratives of existence which would extinguish the spiritual dimension of the human being. A Dominican approach entails contemplation of the underlying webs of interconnectedness between humanity and nature and among all cultures. If the world is to be saved, such a vision is essential. |
