Human beingness

 I need your help.

I’ve been thinking about the need for a BA degree in Human Beingness. It would be a 4 or maybe 5-year degree. Students would have to have their tuition and fees covered completely since they are studying for no career at all.

 

I imagine classes like: Myth and Spirit, The Nature of Evil, Love, Human Development, Human Sexuality, Mind and Perception, The Arts and the Human Condition, The Scientific and Technological Vision, The History of Social Control and The Moral Compass. Tied to all of this would be development of a language for personal vision.

 

In our culture we are taught to consume, to desire, to make money, to be entertained, to live through the lives of others and to expect to be taken care of. But we are not taught what it means to be full human beings.

 

So what do you think about this idea, the courses and the viability?
