1. Course Description

countryside, and many cities today are megalopolises of ten million
persons or more.  Is the city sustainable?  Can we live hopefully,
faithfully and imaginatively in extreme urban contexts characterized often
by inequality, poverty and violence; yet alive with vibrant cultural
production?  This course will look at the meaning of the city in history,
using the lens of ancient and contemporary philosophical, historical,
theological, and sociological writings, even as we seek to understand our
role in anticipating urban challenges for a global age.
