RELI 075: (CC) Mysticism and the Spiritual QuestSemester Hours: 3
Mysticism is traditionally defined as the yearning for direct connection to a transcendent reality and is referred to as the esoteric dimension of religious search. Though evident as a global phenomenon, mystical traditions most notably developed in the monotheistic faiths of Judaism, Christianity and Islam, as well as in the many religious traditions of India, China, Japan and ancient Greece. This is a cross-cultural exploration of the meanings, definitions, practices and common themes of mysticism via a study of original texts (in translation) from different parts of the world. Prerequisite(s)/Course Notes: Same as PHI 102. Credit given for this course or PHI 102, not both.
