The course gives an overview of the subject’s history, the term „religion“ and offers a basic introduction to the history of religions. It discusses selected topics in religious studies, i.a. rituals, religion and politics, religious experiences and the contemporary situation in a modern world.
Religious Studies regards religion as an anthropological phenomenon and is based on a non-engaged relationship towards religion. Therefore it is important to evaluate its connection to other sciences, which deal with “religion”, especially theology.
