PHIL 288

Special Topics in Philosophy: Philosophy of Religion

Responding to changing currents in the field of philosophy, this course explores a topic of contemporary relevance. This course covers some of the central topics in the philosophy of religion: What is the nature of God?; What are the conditions under which something counts as a religion?; Are there any good reasons to believe that God exists?; How about reasons to believe that God doesn't exist?; What is the relationship between morality and religion?; Is religious experience sufficient to justify belief in God? The course explores answers to these questions as offered by philosophers and scholars of religious studies, and participants try to answer these questions throughout the semester.
