PHL 208 - Philosophy of Religion (4 Cr.)

(GCR RPP)(GCR Humanities and Interdisciplinary Studies area)
In a historically sensitive and comparative manner, this course examines classical and contemporary philosophical accounts of the nature and existence of ultimate reality. Topics covered include conceptions of ultimate reality, evil, immortality, religious experience, and human subjectivity as well as arguments for and against theism, atheism, and agnosticism. Our approach will draw on both Eastern and Western traditions and will be sensitive to the social and political relations that animate religious traditions. Offered spring 2017 and every two years. Shuster.
