The Good Society - Can We Get There From Here?

Catalog description

Throughout history, people have asked: What is the ideal society? What is its relationship to human nature and needs? Does one a change in society or a special or a change in mankind? We will look at "utopian" literary explorations of these as well as real attempts to create the "Good Society." We will visit Shaker Village Museum to understand this nineteenth century religious community, as well as the Bruderhof community to explore and participate in this contemporary effort to build a better society.
