THE RELIGIOUS AND THE SECULAR: Past, Present, and Future
EXPLICATION
The Humanities Center invites applications based
on historical, philosophical, sociological, anthropological, and
other approaches to the relationship between "The Religious
and the Secular: Past, Present, and Future" for its 2003-04
Faculty Fellowship Competition. The relationship between the religious
and the secular has been crucial to the understanding of cultures
and nations of the world. Art, literature, and other forms of cultural
production have been connected intimately with the pressures of
politics and religion throughout world history. In some societies,
modern concepts of secularization relate to the development of religious
toleration, to ideas of pluralism, and, in some countries, to the
separation of church and state. In other societies, official state
religions remain part of the modern equation. Division, unity, and
national identity are only a few of the many issues that might be
related to the theme for the fellowship competition. Whether in
the context of medieval Europe or ancient China, Northern Ireland
or the Middle East, manifestations of spirituality and institutionalized
religion have much to teach us about the past, present, and future
of the relationship between "The Religious and the Secular."
