PHIL 267 - Philosophy of Religion

Institution:

Cascadia College

Subject:

Description:

H - This course is a philosophical exploration of questions related to and inspired by religion and religious belief. Students will examine arguments for and against the existence of God, immortality and the afterlife, the status of miracles, the relation between morality and religion, the problem of evil, and other issues that emerge from human beings' interest in spirituality and the unknown. Rather than focusing on any one religious faith, the course addresses perennial questions that give rise to religion in general. That said, the material tends towards philosophical issues in western philosophy as it has engaged the Judeo-Christian-Islamic tradition. Students can expect to come out of this course with a clearer sense of how philosophy and religion interact and a better understanding of their own philosophical and spiritual beliefs. Prerequisite(s): Completion of ENGL 100 (formerly ENG 100) with a grade of 2.0 or higher or placement by testing in ENGL& 101 (formerly ENG 101).
