LARTS 339 - Philosophy of Religion

Institution:

The New England Conservatory of Music

Subject:

Description:

An examination of the philosophical problems that arise when we consider the world's religions. Can we know whether there is a divine or transcendent reality? How is religious music thought to function within different religions can it actually convey the listener to the divine, or is it merely expressing human feelings? How do we reconcile multiple religions all claiming divinely given truths? Are reason and faith mutually exclusive? Why does religious language seem so odd? Does evil really exist? Are mystics divinely inspired or insane? (2 credits) Breese
