Additional Course Info | Class Number: 1388 We often think of rest as recovery from, and preparation for, a life devoted to work. But religions have other ways of thinking about rest not merely as a break from the rat race, but as a reorientation to the divine and the world. In this course, students will read 20th and 21st century Jewish and Christian texts on work, productivity, and rest, and consider them in relation to contemporary conversations about work, time management, and the attention economy.; ; Enrollment Limit: 15 Humanities, A: Meaning, Interpretation (Texts) (; Hav: HU, A) |
