CES Musings Archive

From 2007 to summer 2017, CES published an ezine named CES Musings: Chronicling the Transition from an Economic Industrial to an Ecological-Cultural Age. Each issue generally contained a “The Chronicle,” which was a summary of news articles pertinent to that transition, essays and poems concerning the same, and items of CES news, including announcements of events and educational programs. Copies of past issues of CES Musings are available on this page.

PRE-ORDER NEW BIOGRAPHY ON THOMAS BERRY AT A 30% DISCOUNT

Columbia University Press will publish the first biography on Thomas Berry in spring 2019. The book was written by Mary Evelyn Tucker, John Grim, and Andrew Angyal. The book will be released just prior to the 10^thanniversary of Thomas Berry’s death on June 1, 2019. Information on the book and how to pre-order it at a 30% discount are available here.

Berry was one of the 20^thcentury’s most important thinkers. He had encyclopedic knowledge which he synthesized in books such as The Dream of the Earth and The Great Work. His works were intellectually profound, inspiring, and evocative. Anne Marie Dalton termed the latter characteristic poesis. His presentations, written work, and conversations changed the lives of many people and gave rise to a historic movement that is continuing.

FREE ACCESS TO ONLINE COURSES ON
JOURNEY OF THE UNIVERSE AND THOMAS BERRY

Mary Evelyn Tucker and John Grim, Yale University, are offering four six-week online courses. Brian Thomas Swimme provides introductory comments. These are featured as a specialization under the title: “Journey of the Universe: A Story for our Times.” They are available in English and in Chinese.

This specialization includes two courses on Journey of the Universe and a course on TheWorldview of Thomas Berry. Each of these courses can be taken independently, followed by an Integrating Capstone course. These are MOOCs available on Coursera to anyone, anywhere on the planet.

Learners may audit these courses FREE OF CHARGE (with the exception of the capstone course). Or learners may register for all of the courses for a small fee and, upon completion, receive a specialization certificate. The courses do not have to be completed within the six-week period, rather, learners may take the classes and finish at their own pace.

Courses:

Journey of the Universe: The Unfolding of Life (film & book)
Journey Conversations: Weaving Knowledge and Action
The Worldview of Thomas Berry: Flourishing of the Earth Community
Integrating Capstone: Living Cosmology (only available as part of the specialization certificate—not available to audit)

The next enrollment date for the courses is February 26, 2019
