  • Psychology 426: Faith in a Religiously Plural World

    2.00 Credits
    Colgate University

    J. Carter This seminar investigates a dimension of human self-consciousness that has been addressed by means of the English word faith. Specifically, this seminar considers what leading authors have meant by the term faith and whether the notion communicated by this term might represent a generic category for understanding human religious history and our religiously plural world today. The seminar recognizes that faith is a word having been informed by the Western (European) intellectual heritage. It inquires whether faith might be global in its applicability: how, and to what extent. Consequently, the starting point for consideration is Christian, and an attempt is made to see whether a sense of faith might be extrapolated to indicate a core dimension of religiousness found in the major religious traditions of the world. Students are expected to have completed some study of at least two religious traditions, normally determined by successfully completing at least two courses offered in the department, each dealing with a different religious tradition or heritage, prior to enrolling in the seminar.
