RLST 3410 - Asian Philosophies and Religions

We in the Western world encounter a vastly different world, a radically different “universe of meaning,” when we examine the traditions of the East. Even what we tacitly assume to be “real” is claimed by the Hindus and Buddhists of India to be a grand illusion. The world of China is, again, very different from India. An examination of Tibetan and Japanese religious forms will conclude our study of Asian thought. Cross-listed with PHIL 3410. Max hours: 3 Credits. Semester Hours: 3 to 3
