Title: Symbol and Myth in Religion
Course Section Number: REL-290-02
Department: Religion
Description: Second Half-Semester Course Do myths and symbols belong in the skill-set of people living in a modern scientific world? Or are they playthings for nerds or soft-minded romantics? What exactly are symbols? Myths? What do they do? Are they socially constructed? Archetypal? Something else? How important are they for religion? Can you have a religion that's "demythologized"? Should you? These are some of the questions that we'll tackle in this half-course. 天下足球网,球探比分'll read selections from, among others, Paul Tillich and 天下足球网,球探比分ndy Doniger, as well as their critics. Using film and other media, we'll also read or look at a variety of myths, both ancient and modern.
