RELIGIOUS STUDIES 257: What's Love Got to Do with It
3.00 Credits
Hobart William Smith Colleges
Suppose the understanding of a concept such as love is proportional to the number of genres through which it is perceived. Then one can expect that the most complete understanding of love will be found through an entire galaxy of genres, such as dialogues, satires, videos, canticles, modern lyrics, newspaper columns, and novels. Besides "literary" texts, students read and discuss "sacred" texts on love from both Eastern and Western religious traditions. ( TBA, offered alternate years)

This course explores what it means to be religious in a philosophical manner. Central to our exploration are the following questions: Can one be religious and at the same time also be rational and critical Is being religious equivalent to accepting certain ideas and practices merely on authority, i.e., having a "blind faith" If religions do involve modes of rational, (self-)critical thinking, how do they operate and manifest themselves Do religious people make coherent, convincing and compelling cases for their religious ideals, beliefs and practices Toward answering these questions, students read some of the major philosophical thinkers from the 18th century to the present who have attempted to present coherent and compelling philosophical arguments for or against religious beliefs and practices.

RELIGIOUS STUDIES 274: Zionism,the State of Israel,and the Middle East Conflict

Hobart William Smith Colleges
An examination of the roots of Zionism-a complicated religious, ideological, and political movement. Such external factors as the Holocaust and the acute problems of the surviving refugees; the conflict between Jews and Arabs in Palestine; the breakdown of the British Mandate and the mutual rivalries of the Western powers in the Middle East; and the East West conflict in the global scene are some of the historical forces which accelerated the creation of the Jewish state that are examined. But attention is also given to the internal intellectual and spiritual forces in Jewish life, which were at least as important and which constitute the ultimately decisive factor.
