Introduction to World Religions
(
A) Approaches to the Study of
Religion
Religion as a cultural phenomenon is
interrelated with all aspects of human life. A
broad range of approaches are applied within
the academic study of religion. After a short
overview of the disciplinary history of this
subject, the course will provide an introductory
understanding of ‘classical’ approaches such
as the sociology, the anthropology and the
psychology of religion, and of more recently
emerging concepts such as the economy or
the aesthetics of religion.
