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.

宇宙之旅:生命的展开:宇宙之旅将进化科学的发现与诸如历史,哲学,艺术和宗教等人文学科编织在一起。该课程借鉴了获得艾美奖的影片《宇宙之旅》和耶鲁大学出版社的著作。 《旅程》将宇宙进化探索为基于联系,相互依存和出现的创造性过程。它研究了星系,地球,生命和人类社区发展过程中的一系列动态相互作用。它研究了我们了解进化过程以及对人类和生态未来的影响的方式。 因此,旅程课程基于科学与人文对话的新融合。 《旅程》以史诗般的叙事方式讲述了进化的故事,而不是被科学学科分隔开的一系列事实。这改变了我们的看法,因此我们开始将自己视为这一叙述的组成部分。通过将自己置于这个故事中,我们可以更好地欣赏过程的复杂性和美感,例如自组织动力学,自然选择,出现,共生和共同进化。当我们发现这些复杂的进化过程时,我们在地球历史上的这个关键时刻意识到了自然环境的美丽和复杂性。
