SOC/ANTH 525/5225 - The Sacred and the Profane: Religion and Society (3 cr.)


Description
This course explores a recurring theme in sociology and anthropology - the relationship between religion and society. Central to the investigations is a questioning of the role of religion in the creation of the modern world and the place of religion in modernity. Students will gain an understanding of the manner in which theorists attribute to religion a role in the formation of essential aspects of the modern world - capitalism, the nation-state, citizenship and science, and revisit the relationship between religion and contemporary society that escape the secularization paradigm.
