Course Description
This course is designed by the student and the professor. I have chosen to focus on the theological aspects of the environment. Through this course, I will look at how Transcendentalism shaped the way American philosophers characterize the Christian God in a natural context. During this course, I will look at concepts of The Sublime, the parallels of God and Nature, and the revelations of American philosophers and theologians in a natural landscape.
