RELS 3260 - Buddhism in the Modern World Evaluates a variety of perennial questions about Buddhism in the modern world: Is Buddhism a philosophy? A mind science? An ancient mystical path? A modern construct? A wide range of primary source materials are used to examine how these works shape Buddhism. We consider their pre-modern influences and turn to recent scholarship to discuss how romantic, imperialist, anti-modern, nationalist, therapeutic, and scientific frames depict one of today’s most popular religions. Fulfills the [C] or [T] requirement.
