RELN 3410 - Conceptions of Selfhood in Religion

(3) Credit Hours
Prerequisite: ENGL 1102 with a grade of “C” or higher; RELN 1100 with a grade of “C” or higher
This course considers the understanding of “selfhood” or in Western discourses, “subjectivities,” in religious traditions around the world. A writing-intensive course, this exploration will include spiritual resources from Hindu, Buddhist, Christian, New Age, and Indigenous/Shamanic traditions as they inform the notions of selfhood. Topics such as mind/body theories of interaction, the nature of awareness, theories of the sub/unconscious, monistic and nondualistic philosophies, enlightenment and Buddhist metaphysics will help students become familiar with complex and multivalent constructions of Selfhood.
