| Short Title: | Philos Of Religion |
| Description: | This course will span several topics in classical philosophical theology. We will begin by considering the implications of the very idea of God as an absolutely perfect being, noting various puzzles to which this idea gives rise and surveying main responses to those puzzles. We will then consider at some length a popular form of argument against the existence of God, so-conceived (the argument from evil) and a popular form of argument in favor of God's existence (the argument from design). Near the end of the course, we will consider a range of perspectives - some friendly to religious belief and some unfriendly - on the relationship of religious faith and reason. Our topics are the subject of much recent philosophical writing, and our readings will draw from a wide array of contribitors to this contemporary discussion. |
