- Course objectives
- Lectures spring out of an attempt at an analysis of the phenomenon of religiosity as such. A survey of important religious systems of Antiquity is presented, with a certain consideration of their development. A possible connection with our contemporaneity is not ignored.
- Syllabus
- An overview of chosen religious systems, presuppositions for a paradigmatic orientation on mutually differing structures.
- Confrontation with some categories of ethics, philosophy of common language, politology, but also theory of signs or logic.
- Information concerning different historical and present-day systems as an expression of a social need to interpret and deeply feel the roles realized while trying to pass over the limits of immanence into transcendence.
- Intersubjective communication, intention and practice in the context of religious creed. Existential anxiety of our forefathers and its philosophical as well as literary echoes.
- Special attention has been dedicated to Christianity, both to its original credo and the stimuli to Protestantism.
- The origin of sects as a phenomenon.. - The background and goal of ecumenical movement.
- Inspiration towards toleration. (It is more difficult to understand than to criticize.)
- It has been recommended (but is not a condition) to go on with the lectures on the "Chosen chapters in the science of religion".
- Literature
- Literature is being assigned during the lectures.
- Teaching methods
- Successive explanation based on the curriculum (slides, texts to be accessed electronically); the lesson may be introduced by some updating (news from the world of religion, etc.).
- Assessment methods
- 2 credits after both regularly attending the classes and submitting 1 essay (assigned or accepted theme).
- Language of instruction
- Czech
- Follow-Up Courses
- Further comments (probably available only in Czech)
- Study Materials
The course is taught once in two years.
