PHIL 264 World Religions introduces students to the major religions of the world. Through this course, students learn how religions work, what makes them appealing, why they make sense to their adherents, and how society can examine them as symbolic systems that orient people to things of ultimate importance. Overall, this course demystifies religions for students by identifying each religion’s specific logic and then explains how this logic guides adherents into experiences and encounters with ultimate ideas, beings, relationships, and realities.
