This week we are reading the last three dimensions (ethical, ritual, and social) and Smart’s final thoughts on the study of religion. I would like to see what you have to write on these last three dimensions and particularly what Smart discusses in his chapter “Reflections on the Future of Religion and Ideology,” especially what Smart states on page 152, beginning with “It seems to me….,” through to page 153. It is very telling of Smart and his position as a researcher in religious studies.
Then to end the discussion, if you will, tell me about the class, what works, what does not work, what you think should be different, and what do you think about religion now, same or different, in regards to how you thought about religion prior to the class?
Shoot for five hundred words, but I will be more lax this week. Do respond to at least two classmates as is typical for this class.
