RELIGIOUS STUDIES 254 - The Question of God/Goddess:Metaphoric and Philosophical Origins

Institution:

Hobart William Smith Colleges

Subject:

Description:

In an age when formal language has become more technical, the question of God is often given over to those who do not want to be bothered with the complexity of the question. In an attempt to "overhear" some of the issues that are left out of specialized knowledge, this course examines Greek plays with special attention to the ways in which these texts raise the question of God. It also familiarizes students with representative ways of formulating the question of God in classical and contemporary thought. Students dramatize one contemporary play to show the transformation of images and issues. (TBA , offered alternate years)
