Based on his forthcoming book, Spirituality, WPI Professor or Philosophy Roger Gottlieb explores questions such as: What is spirituality and how is it like and unlike traditional religion, morality, and mysticism? How does spirituality make our lives both better and far more difficult? What is a spiritual practice and why are spiritual practices necessary? What role can spirituality play in personal health and in political activism?

August 2011 Online Humanities and Arts Newsletter
All WPI undergraduates explore an area of the humanities and arts in depth. WPI's innovative Humanities and Arts Requirement gives students the flexibility to select their own course of study. Some students explore their own creativity in our exceptional music, theatre, or writing programs. Others study the complexity and diversity of the world through the study of art/architecture, history, foreign languages, literature, philosophy, or religion. The department also offers a variety of minors, concentrations, and double majors in which students may pursue their individual interests in the humanities and arts.
All students emerge from the sustained engagement with the humanities and arts at WPI with well-rounded interests, the skills for lifelong learning, and a commitment to use their talents to make the world a better place. The humanities and arts remain central to WPI's aim of educating technological humanists, which has been at the heart of WPI's approach to education since its founding in 1865.
