Religions of East Asia.
Credits: 3
Offered by: Religious Studies (Faculty of Arts)
This course is not offered this catalogue year.

Description

This course introduces East Asia's major religions comparatively by addressing the continuous exchange of ideas and practices between traditions. Rather than adopting a mere chronological approach, Buddhism, Daoism, and Confucianism will be discussed thematically, taking in to account topics such as gender constructs, the secular and the sacred, material culture, and the apparent contrast between doctrine and practice.
