51-2409 Philosophy of Religion

This course examines a number of issues connected to religious belief and practice. At the heart of the course is an exploration of religious “ways of knowing” and how these compare and contrast with secular ways of knowing. The course will explore the following: arguments for and against the existence of God (including the problem of evil), the nature and justification of religious experiences, the possibility of miracles, the nature of God’s attributes and their compatibility with each other, the connections between faith and reason, the connections between religion and ethics, and the challenges of religious pluralism.
