PHIL 293 - Religious Experiences

Institution:

Ocean County College

Subject:

Description:

This course is a study of the varieties of religious experience that individuals and groups use to transform their lives from a problematic state of existence to an existence that is shaped through ultimate reality and values that are based in religious belief. The problems of existence, the means of transformation, and the nature of ultimate reality of ultimate values are understood differently by culturally diverse individuals and groups, yet the transformative process itself is central to any expression of religious life. Diverse means of transformation are found in more than one religious tradition; therefore, elements of some of the world's major religious practices, i.e. Hinduism, Buddhism, Confucianism, Taoism, Shintoism, Judaism, Christianity and Islam, permeate the course. This course satisfi es the liberal arts diversity requirement.
