DESCRIPTION

Course offers a critical assessment of the contemporary relevance and plausibility of belief in God, against the background of an historical review of attempts to propose its philosophical basis and justification. Students will be invited to critically reflect on such perennial questions as: What is evil? Does God exist? What is the good life? Why do we have religion? What is the relationship between religion and science? Particular attention will be paid to situating the human spiritual experience within the philosophical discourse of modernity, assessing religious faith within the context of major political, social, and intellectual upheavals of our time.
