Department: Humanities Division
Grade Mode: Standard Letter
Course Type: Seminar
Distribution Group: Distribution Group I
Credit Hours: 3
Description: This seminar targets a fuller picture of magic emergent in the triad "magic, science, religion" by studying magic both as a condemned category and as a defensible category of thought and practice. We discuss case studies from the intellectual magic of the middle ages, Renaissance, and the modern occult revival. This course is limited to first-year students only. Cross-list: RELI 120.
