...enlightenment and nirvana. The Task Force on General Education merely considers religion an important facet of the world that “Harvard’s graduates will confront in their lives both in and after college” and wants to help students “understand the interplay between religious and secular institutions, practices, and ideas.” Under the proposed requirement, students will presumably study the influence of religion in historical, scientific, and political contexts, and not theistic doctrine itself...
...might have guessed. And my contention is that developments that took place and ideologies that crystallized during the long crusading period marked forever the history of all of Europe, the Near East, and to some small extent the so-called New World as well. The unifying factor is the interplay of war and religion. Was I prescient in 1981, did I prophesize 9/11 in offering this course? No, I was not. The connection to 9/11, if any there be, is of quite another nature. In fact, while I make frequent mention of the long-term effects of the Crusades...

Columbia, which requires students to read parts of the Bible and Koran in its great books program, comes closest...
...technology that can read electrical signals pulsating from brain cells, is popular because it detects how quickly the brain reacts to stimuli. But unlike fMRI scans, MEG can't identify which parts of the brain are reacting. And that's important, since researchers say it's the interplay between the deeper, older, primitive brain, where our emotions reside, and the more logical neocortex, which informs our decision making. And because the dance between the old- and new-brain areas occurs in the subconscious, that's information focus groups or polls can never determine...
