Problem
Short Paper: Ch.1 (Upanashads & Bhagavad Gita) & Ramayana
Will be based these on five readings from assigned portions of The World's Wisdom [Novack] or other specified primary sources. Every two weeks or so, you'll be given an opportunity. You may skip ~two of them. For short papers, select a portion or portion from the Novak reading. Compare, contrast, analyze, and/or evaluate the text, treating it as a primary source. Use one or more of the course themes to frame a coherent argument using the text as evidence:
a) How does it speak to the ways humanity has used myth and the divine to explain the natural world?
b) How does it inform beliefs and practices that contribute to communities and epistemologies?
c) How does it help us understand how religion informs historical and contemporary problems and solutions?
