Description: MODERNITY & RELIGION ***** The role of religion and faith in the modern world has often been problematic. Considered antithetical to such hallmarks of European and American modernity as science, capitalism, and separation of church and state, religious beliefs and practices have nevertheless occupied a vibrant place in modern intellectual, social, and political history. In this seminar, we will analyze the role of religion in the 20th-century through case studies from around the world. Topics vary. Limited enrollment. Not offered 2003-2004. ***** Also offered as RELI 492.
