| [back to main course list] REL 334: DEATH AND DYING: RELIGIOUS DIMENSIONS (UP Group IV.A)Death calls into question the meaning and purpose of human existence. It challenges us to identify those values which we believe make life humane and to analyze the relationship of those values to our modes of living and dying. In particular, it challenges us to examine the relationship of those values to such elements of contemporary life as rapid social change, transformation of traditional institutions, technology, law, modern medicine and public policy on health care issues. In this course, death will be explored in contexts such as these. |
