Each society — and the religions it has fostered — has produced its own unique form of wisdom while\, at the same time\, deriving from and building on some of the same or similar ethical and spiritual principles that have come before it. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDuring these two-hour Saturday morning classes\, principles from different societies and religious traditions will be examined and discussed. Those attending will be given the opportunity to read the short classics in highly accessible translations ahead of time\, which will constitute the basis for in-class lectures and for the discussions that follow. \n\n\n\nJoin us and Dr. Arthur Feinsod for the upcoming Evolution of Wisdom Thought series\, from 9:30-11:30 a.m.\, on Saturday\, April 27\, May 18 and June 22. Each session will take place in the Havlik Center in Providence Hall. \n\n\n\nThe third class will focus on “Sir Gawain and the Green Knight.” This anonymous tale from the legends surrounding King Arthur and his Roundtable raises some fascinating and complex issues regarding faith\, commitment\, honor and loyalty within a late Medieval Christian context. \n\n\n\nCost for each session of the series is $25. \n\n\n\nFor more information\, call 812-535-2952 or email provctr@spsmw.org.

Those attending will be given the opportunity to read the short classics in highly accessible translations ahead of time\, which will constitute the basis for in-class lectures and for the discussions that follow. \n\n\n\nJoin us and Dr. Arthur Feinsod for the upcoming Evolution of Wisdom Thought series\, from 9:30-11:30 a.m.\, on Saturday\, May 18\, and concluding on June 22. Each session will take place in the Havlik Center in Providence Hall. \n\n\n\nThe fourth class will focus on Viktor Frankl’s “Man’s Search for Meaning.” Jumping to the 20th century\, we will discuss the book by Frankl\, the great Jewish psychologist\, who emerged from his Holocaust experience with a fierce drive to find his own particular life purpose which happened to involve helping others find their meaning and reasons for living. \n\n\n\nCost for each session of the series is $25. \n\n\n\nFor more information\, call 812-535-2952 or email provctr@spsmw.org.

Each society — and the religions it has fostered — has produced its own unique form of wisdom while\, at the same time\, deriving from and building on some of the same or similar ethical and spiritual principles that have come before it. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDuring these two-hour Saturday morning classes\, principles from five different societies and religious traditions will be examined and discussed. Those attending will be given the opportunity to read the short classics in highly accessible translations ahead of time\, which will constitute the basis for in-class lectures and for the discussions that follow. \n\n\n\nJoin us and Dr. Arthur Feinsod for the final Evolution of Wisdom Thought workshop\, from 9:30-11:30 a.m.\, on Saturday\, June 22. Each session will take place in the Community Room at Providence Hall. \n\n\n\nThe final session will focus on “Mohandas Gandhi’s Spirituality and Politics.” Staying in the 20th century but shifting to a Hindu perspective\, we will examine Gandhi’s spiritual principles and how they emerge from ancient ones set forth in “The Upanishads and The Bhagavad-Gita.” \n\n\n\nWe will also look at Gandhi’s political philosophy of satyagraha and show its parallels with the civil disobedience tradition from Sophocles’ “Antigone\,” through Henry David Thoreau’s “On the Duty of Civil Disobedience\,” through Martin Luther King Jr.’s “Letter from a Birmingham Jail.” \n\n\n\nCost for each session of the series is $25. \n\n\n\nFor more information\, call 812-535-2952 or email provctr@spsmw.org.
