An examination of the philosophical problems that arise when we consider the world's religions. Can we know whether there is a divine or transcendent reality? How is religious music thought to function within different religions can it actually convey the listener to the divine, or is it merely expressing human feelings?

Are mystics divinely inspired or insane? (2 credits) Breese
