RELI 021 - (HP) Gods and Sages - Religious Wisdom in the Ancient WorldSemester Hours: 3
Periodically
This course will examine ancient approaches to questions about the human condition and attempts to come to know the good, the true and the beautiful. Religious and philosophic thought provided distinct, often conflicting, but at times overlapping answers to such issues. A study of these various theories, as addressed by thinkers from the Greco-Roman traditions, will not only introduce some of the most profound meditations on these central human concerns, but will also provide the conceptual background necessary to understand the development of Western religious traditions (particularly Christianity and Rabbinic Judaism).
