“All branches of knowledge are connected together, because the subject-matter is intimately united in itself, as being the acts and works of the Creator.  Hence it is that the Sciences, into which our knowledge may be said to be cast, have multiplied bearings one on another, and an internal sympathy, and admit, or rather demand comparison and adjustment.  They complete, correct, balance each other.” (Newman, Idea of a University, Discourse 5).  In this course, students will examine a theme or topic from the vantage point of several disciplines, in light of the truths of philosophy and theology and aimed at the Unity of Knowledge. Topics and themes may vary from year to year.
