Is the World Falling Apart?

In this time of growing collective angst it is useful to step back and explore these important and potentially existential questions. This conversation is precisely what this seminar seeks to foster. Are the events we see around us signifiers of deeper (and perhaps alarming) change? How can we know? What policy areas should most concern us? Is there anything we can learn from history? What role do we play in determining the future? Through engagement with texts from various perspectives and intellectual traditions we will try to reflect on these questions, and more.
