The main goal of this course is acquiring basic knowledge of religions in Asia, with a focus on Japan and East Asia. The course also aims to help students develop the ability to think of social and cultural issues pertaining to religion from different angles, and to encourage them to foster an attitude of understanding and respect for different worldviews and value systems.
In this course, through a study of different religious worldviews and values, students will explore the role of religious thought and practice in various social issues and the formation of culture. The course will focus on Shinto, Taoism, Buddhism and Confucianism in East Asia, but will also touch on other religions and on India.

We shall also discuss the issue of whether there is one, single Shinto, or whether “Shinto” is a construct consisting of several different traditions. |
