RELI 30573 - Daoism and Chinese Religions

This course explores the development of the Daoist tradition in the context of Chinese popular religions. We will study early Daoist communities, texts, and practices to advance our understanding of such religious themes as: the body and the cosmos; magical medicine; immortality practice; ritual; scripture and revelation; apocalypticism; and the relationship between "classical" and "popular" religious traditions.
