'The Life Divine' is Sri Aurobindo's principal philosophic work, in which he presents his theory of evolution, which culminates in the transformation of the human being, and the advent of a divine life upon earth. It also takes up a number of other dominant philosophical perspectives for discussion, notably the materialistic denial of the spirit, and the ascetic denial of life, ultimately moving towards a profound synthesis of matter and spirit. The book has about 1100 pages and is divided into 2 books with 28 chapters each. This course takes up the entire book through a collective reading and discussion over 3 years or more, with weekly one-hour long live sessions online.
