PHIL 052 PZ -Philosophy of Religion
Institution: Pitzer
Description: The philosophy of religion is concerned with philosophical reflection on a broad range of questions concerning religious belief. The nature of religious belief is quite varied across cultures. In Western theism belief in God and a belief in personal immortality are two central religious beliefs. So philosophy of religion in the West is largely concerned with explicating and clarifying the concept of God and life after death, as well as considering the alleged reasons for supposing God exists or that there is life after death. However, in other traditions belief in reincarnation and karma are central beliefs and so questions regarding the nature, meaning and justification of the concepts of reincarnation and karma are important for an Eastern philosophy of religion. In this course, we will examine similar philosophical questions from Western and Eastern religious traditions as well as African, Native American and a variety of other world religions.

POST 112 PZ -Old Living in an Old Country: British National Identies since 1945
Institution: Pitzer
Description: In the seventy years since the end of WWII, Britain has undergone a turbulent transition from global empire to a second-rank European power, from a United Kingdom to an often divided nation. This course examines Britain’s kaleidoscopic national identities - European, British, English, Scottish, Irish and Welsh - through their representation in popular culture and their place in the nations’ politics.
The course has three components. First it provides a broad historical sweep through state and identity formation in the British Isles. This that covers the key moments from the formation of the Union in the early eighteenth century, through the creation of the British Empire in the nineteenth century to the emergence of a more democratic Britishness during and immediately after the Second World War. Second, the course examines how the notions of Britishness established over the previous two centuries were challenged and transformed by the politics of nationalism and unionism in England, Scotland, Northern Ireland and Wales,; the social and cultural impact of mass migration first from the Empire and then from post cold war European Union; Third, cutting across both of the pervious course themes, students will look at key elements of British popular culture -sport, television, cinema, comedy, music - since the Second World War, examining their role in the making and unmaking of British national identities

POST 121 PZ -Religion, Conflict & Violence
Institution: Pitzer
Description: This is a course about the possible connections between religion and violence, focused particularly on organized armed conflict. This is a topic that has received, surprisingly, very little sustained attention from social science literatures and the main purpose of the course is to explore what the contours of a theory of religion and violence would like. The course is organized around major historical and theoretical monographs (a book a week) designed to structure class discussions and the course is, therefore, reading intensive. The readings have been designed to give students a sense of what answers historians and social scientists have given to the puzzle of religion and violence while stimulating the participants to ask provocative questions.
This is a course in the historical sociology of religion and violence. Given the vastness of the subject I have had to be extremely selective in the time and places that we will be examining. The overall geographical bias of the course is Western Eurasia with equal time dedicated to the modern and premodern periods. We will also, in the interests of context, consider the case of 19th and 20th century South Asia.
Prerequisite(s): Please check course schedule for requirements.
