Religious Culture
In the field of Religious Cultural Studies, we focus on the research of various questions on human beings from religious perspectives(when life begins, what is illness, aging, death and life after death, how the soul and the body are united in a human being, etc.) in which historical and religious study methods are mainly used. Religions and beliefs significantly affect, whether apparently or not, how people view the world and the others. In the background of the arguments concerning modern medical/bio ethics today, for instance, influences of Christian (and other religious) groups are to be observed. A fundamental understanding on various religious cultures would enable students to deepen their interests in the field of Health Systems. The subjects of research may vary according to students’ interests, from Biblical texts to medical/bio ethical arguments of our age.
