What is the impact of globalisation upon religion nowadays?
Define globalization and you can make sense of the fate of religion today. What is globalization? What is religion?
And yet, it seems that defining religion remains an extremely difficult question, a typical philosophical problem. On the one hand, religion cannot be reduced to some belief in a god or supreme being. On the other hand, religion cannot be reduced to some metaphysical system of sorts nor can it be dismissed as irrational. As you'll see you'll spend the whole semester trying to make sense of this complex, dense phenomenon called "religion," without facile reductionisms or dogmatic assumptions –either to promote one particular religion or to dismiss it.
