ANTH 45Wisdom and Ecstasy
How do the world’s religions grapple with the enduring mysteries of human existence, such as the origins of the cosmos, the meaning of life and death, or the healing of suffering? By delving into “wisdom,” we will explore how different religious communities realize—in thought and in action—the underlying order of their world; in focusing on “ecstasy,” we will attend to deeply transformative experiences of personal contact with the divine within diverse religious milieus.
