MCSI100: The Quest for Meaning in Western Culture

The actions and attitudes of humans are largely dictated by the 'rules' set up within their world view. How have the various worldviews that have influenced human action - such as deism, naturalism, nihilism, existentialism, postmodernism, pantheism, and New Age perspectives - contributed to the world we live in? Is there a Christian perspective on these worldviews and, indeed, is there any such thing as a Christian worldview? This unit will explore these questions, leading students to an understanding of their own presuppositions, and providing them with conceptual tools to address issues of living in the contemporary world.
