授業の概要と目的(何を学ぶか)Outline and objectives
The primary purpose of this course is to expose students to some of the major questions in the scholarly study of religion. What is religion? What do religious symbols mean? Why do religions exist? How should we account for the differences among religions? Can or should we make judgments about religions, especially given our own commitments and biases? How does or should religion relate to morality? What is the relation of religion to culture? The selected readings will provide an introduction to the many approaches found in the study of religion, and provide examples of the various theories that arise when considering the complexity of religious experience. We will further discuss the early development of religion, and provide overviews of major and minor religions from Islam to Scientology.
到達目標Goal
The course aims to:
1. promote an enquiring, critical and sympathetic approach to the study of religion.
2. introduce students to the challenging and varied nature of religion, and to the ways in which this is reflected in experience, belief and practice
3. help students to identify and explore questions about the meaning of life, and to consider such questions in relation to religious traditions
