Course Description

　In this lecture, we will take a broad and flexible view of religious culture as the things that arise from the relationship between people and things beyond human abilities, and their succession. That which is beyond human abilities refers to beings that cannot be captured by human intellect, sensitivity, or will. The term "nature" will be used to describe the existence that can be captured by these abilities. Furthermore, we define living things, people themselves, by our judgments. And let us call created things that are created by the mental and material acts of man. This opens up the perspective of examining this world in terms of five entities: nature, living things, people, created things, and things beyond human abilities.
