课程名称：宇宙之旅：生命的展开 概述：宇宙之旅将进化科学的发现与人文学科（如历史、哲学、艺术和宗教）相结合。课程基于获得艾美奖的电影《宇宙之旅》和耶鲁大学出版社的相关书籍，探讨宇宙进化作为一种创造性过程，强调连接、相互依存和涌现。课程审视银河、地球、生命与人类社群的动态互动，研究我们对进化过程的理解及其对人类和生态未来的影响。 宇宙之旅课程建立在科学与人文学科对话所带来的新整合之上。课程将进化故事视为一部史诗叙事，而不是各科学学科分割开来的事实。这改变了我们的认知，使我们开始将自己视为这一叙事的重要组成部分。通过将自身置于这一故事中，我们能够更好地欣赏自我组织动态、自然选择、涌现、共生和共同进化等复杂性和美感。在发现这些错综复杂的进化过程时，我们在这个重要的星球历史节点上，意识到自然环境的美与复杂。 课程大纲： 第1部分：介绍 - 宇宙的开始 在这一模块中，我们探讨人类如何作为更大宇宙故事的一部分。 第2部分：星系与恒星的形成 此模块探讨许多世界伟大故事如何始于一段旅程，寻求回答生命最深刻的问题，如我们来自何处以及我们为何在此。 第3部分：我们的太阳系与生命的出现 在这里，我们审视科学发现中的几个重要里程碑，扩展对太阳系的知识。 第4部分：生与死以及动物的激情 现在，请思考人类与其他物种在广阔时间尺度中的共同进化。完成此模块可能会改变你对人类意义的理解！ 第5部分：从人类的起源到成为行星存在 在这一模块中，我们希望你理解人类物种在某种程度上是“行星性的”，而其他物种则不是。 第6部分：在新兴地球共同体内重新思考物质与时间 生活在宇宙时间中对你意味着什么？这种思考方式与你以往的时间理解有何不同？这对你自我理解及与周围世界的关系有何影响？本模块探讨这些问题的答案。
Part: 1
Title:Introduction - Beginning of the Universe
Description:In module two, we explore how humans are part of the larger universe story.
Part: 2
Title:The Formation of Galaxies and Stars
Description:This module explores many of the world's greatest stories and how they begin with a journey, a quest to answer life's most intimate questions like where do we come from and why are we here?
Part: 3
Title:Our Solar System and Life’s Emergence
Description:Here we look at several major milestones in scientific discovery that expanded our knowledge of the solar system
Part: 4
Title:Living and Dying and the Passion of Animals
Description:Now we invite you to think about the coevolution of the human with other species within this broad time scale. Completing this module may change the way that you understand what it means to be human!
Part: 5
Title:From the Origin of the Human to Becoming a Planetary Presence
Description:In this module, we hope you come to understand the human species to be “planetary” in a way that other species are not.
Part: 6
Title:Rethinking Matter and Time within the Emerging Earth Community
Description:What does it mean to you to live in cosmological time? How is thinking like this different than your previous understanding of time? What implications does it have for your understanding of yourself and your sense of your relation to the world around you? This module explores answers to these questions.
Journey of the Universe weaves together the discoveries of the evolutionary sciences together with humanities such as history, philosophy, art, and religion. The course draws on the Emmy-award winning film, Journey of the Universe, and the book from Yale University Press. Journey explores cosmic evolution as a creative process based on connection, interdependence, and emergence. It examines a range of dynamic interactions in the unfolding of galaxies, Earth, life, and human communities. It investigates ways in which we understand evolutionary processes and the implications for humans and our ecological future. The Journey course, thus, is based on a new integration that is emerging from the dialogue of the sciences and humanities. Journey tells the story of evolution as an epic narrative, rather than as a series of facts separated by scientific disciplines. This changes our perception so that we begin to see ourselves as an integral part of this narrative. By situating ourselves within this story we can better appreciate the complexity and beauty of processes such as self-organizing dynamics, natural selection, emergence, symbiosis, and co-evolution. As we discover these intricate processes of evolution, we awaken to the beauty and complexity of our natural environment at this critical juncture in our planetary history.
