Tradition and Ethics in a Comparative Perspective

Jonathan Schofer

Description

This course begins with prominent approaches to tradition and ethics in contemporary scholarship (MacIntyre and Stout). Then we critically examine the concept of tradition through researching social theory and the study of religion. The later readings examine tradition and ethical formation in several religions and cultures, including Judaism, Islam, the Kodi of Indonesia, and contemporary Mayan communities.
