About this Unit
In the 1960s and 70s it was common for social and cultural theorists to talk about the death of God and the eclipse of religion. In social terms at least, this prediction has proved to be wildly inaccurate. Never has religion been so politically and culturally relevant. This unit is the compulsory Level 100 unit for the major Religion, Anthropology and Philosophy. It provides an introduction to some of the key issues and concepts in philosophical and anthropological approaches to the study of religion. Specifically, it employs cultural anthropology and philosophy to engage in an examination of a number of foundational ideas for this major, including reason, religion, knowledge, ethics, and ritual.
