Is the Body Enough? Cognitive Science, Emodiment and Religious Experience
STH TT 827
STH TT 827 Is the Body Enough? Cognitive Science, Embodiment and Religious Experience This course is designed to explore the mutual relevance of cognitive science and comparative religion by correlating the notion of embodiment as it is delineated in recent studies of cognition with religious views of the body and with comparative and anthropological studies of religion that focus on embodied practice. The goal of the course is twofold and reflective: first, to achieve a more nuanced interpretation of the religious and cognitive significance of the body and, second, to achieve a more sophisticated understanding of both cognitive science and religious experience by examining both through the lens of the lived body.
