Integral Religion
Moreover, in the area of "Integral religion" students study the Classics of "Eastern and Western Spirituality". In this light, the Institute attempts to form a critical "interface" or dialogue between the Eastern and Western Spiritual traditions. This is accomplished by the study of either the "Phenomenology of Religion" or a "Comparative study of Religion" at the Institute. Courses offered on the "Classics of Eastern Spirituality" include a survey of the World Religions: the Chinese Religion (Taoism), Hinduism, Buddhism, Islam, Judaism, and Christianity, as well as a survey of Middle-Eastern Spirituality reflected in the Jewish Old Testament Bible, and the New Testament Bible. Similarly, courses offered on the "Classics of Western Spirituality" include such major figures as: the Pseudo-Dionysius, Bernard of Clairvaux, Richard of St.Victor, St. Francis of Assisi, St. Bonaventure, Meister Eckhart, St. Ignatus of Loyola, as well as St. John of the Cross, St. Teresa of Avilla, Angelus Silesius, Thomas Merton, and Pierre Teilhard de Chardin. The "Classics of Eastern and Western Spirituality" can be highlighted and contrasted with the the classics of the Western philosophy.
