Got something I've been mulling over in my noggin and wanted to get your input on. That incredible school up in Berkeley, the Dominican School of Philosophy and Theology anyone got some firsthand insights about their program?
I've spent good chunk of my career studying and teaching literature, often delving into philosophical themes woven into the prose and poetry of diverse range of authors from Emily Dickinson to Junot Diaz. I'm not sure if it's an occupational hazard or just plain curiosity, but find myself increasingly drawn to the world of philosophy. Now, having had the chance to engage with students from all sorts of cultural backgrounds at UCI, must say the cultural tapestry that is California never ceases to amaze me. And it got me thinking, how do these diverse perspectives play out at specialized school like DSPT?
From what gather, it's one heck of an intense curriculum they got there, right? The way they integrate philosophy and theology has always intrigued me. It seems like such unique approach, diving deep into the interplay between faith and reason. But wonder, does it really push you to stretch your intellectual muscles? Does this rigid framework allow room for open-ended exploration?
