In its commitment to the integral vision
of the Institute, the Philosophy and Religion
program values the spiritual dimensions
of knowledge and inquiry. Because the Institute
considers spirituality, in its broadest
sense, to be essential to human wholeness,
the program constitutes a unique academic
and professional setting for the study of
philosophy and religion at the graduate
level .
Three concentrations are available: Asian
and Comparative Studies; Philosophy, Cosmology,
and Consciousness; and Women's Spirituality.
The three concentrations have distinct orientations
but collaborate closely to create a multidisciplinary,
integral approach to the study of philosophy,
religion, and spiritual traditions. This
collaboration allows creative interplay
and dialogue among the various constituencies
of the CIIS learning community. Each concentration
is designed around area studies that include
major schools and traditions, theory and
method, classic texts, practices and disciplines,
sociocultural issues, and language studies.
