Description: THE MARRIAGE OF HEAVEN AND HELL ***** The history of mysticism is marked by symbolic systems and ritual practices suffused with erotic and ethical paradoxes. This course examines such themes in a wide variety of historical contexts, from Plato's dialogues and Blake's poetry to Christian mysticism, Hindu, and Buddhist Tantric traditions, and the modern study of religion. ***** Also offered as ASIA 363.
