202. Introduction to World Religions: South and East Asia. (4).
(HU).
This course is an introduction to the heritage of the major
Asian religious traditions. Hinduism (India), Confucianism and Taoism (China), Shinto (Japan), and Buddhism (India, Southeast
Asia, China, and Japan) will be considered against their cultural
backgrounds, and against the background of human religiousness
in general. To lend coherence to the vast and diverse field of
study known as "Asian religions," we will focus on certain
broad themes, such as ritual, meditation, mysticism, and death.
There are three hours of lectures, and one discussion section
per week, with occasional use of slides and films. There is no
prerequisite for the course. Requirements will include frequent
short written assignments and quizzes, and a final exam. WL:2 (Sharf)
