PHI 0265 - RELIGION, REASON AND HUMANITY: AN INTRODUCTION TO THE PHILOSOPHY OF RELIGION

Institution:

Rosemont College

Subject:

Description:

This course is an introduction to the field of philosophy which asks questions both about the phenomenon of religion in general, and about particular religious beliefs and claims. We will ask questions regarding the nature of religion, religious experience, the relation between faith and reason, the nature and existence of God, the problem of evil, life after death, and other topics. Although we will focus on the debates dominant in the Western tradition of religious and philosophical thought, we will also spend some time on non-Western traditions and on the issue of religious diversity.
