Information

Ziele, Inhalte und Methode der Lehrveranstaltung

This course will provide students with an overview of religion in East Asia (i.e., China/Taiwan, Mongolia, Korean Peninsula, and Japan). Using a comparative perspective, we will examine country specific religious, doctrine, practice, and policy. More specifically, this course will introduce students to Buddhism, Daoism, Confucianism, Musok (Korean Shamanism), Shinto, the cults of Mao (China), Xi (China), and the Kims (Korea), and popular religion (a nigh undefinable form of religion unique to East Asia). By the end of the course, students will not only have a comprehensive overview of the East Asian religious landscape, but will also be able to challenge the very category of “religion.”

Mindestanforderungen und Beurteilungsmaßstab
