Course Details:

Description— This Updated Nature course begins with a quote from the end of Ralph Waldo Emerson’s first book, Nature, published in 1836. This is a mere sentence from the last paragraph. It is not Emerson’s words; he is quoting a poet: “Every spirit builds itself a house, and beyond its house a world, and beyond its world a heaven.”

We will work on three tasks over the three weeks of the course. Two compelling Americans of the 18th century—Ralph Waldo Emerson and Sarah Josepha Hale—help to point the way. The first task is building a self-house; the second is building an expansive world that includes a key role for the self; and the third is building a heaven that, believe it or not, enhances the self and, most importantly, the world. The solutions are easily achievable yet also challenging. They will stretch our capabilities.

The course consists of three classes, each an hour long: the house-building introduction, the world-building middle, and the heavenly-building end.
