RELG 1300 - Philosophy of Religion

Hours: 4
This course begins with a survey of the various ways human beings understand the nature of the Ultimate, among them: theism, polytheism, deism, monism, pantheism, and kathenotheism. In addition, it addresses a variety of questions about religious belief: arguments for and against the existence of God, the nature of religious faith and mystical experience, the problem of evil, the conflict between belief in miracles and the scientific world view, reasons for accepting and rejecting the notion of life after death. While courses of this sort typically confine themselves to Western and theistic concerns, students can expect a much more global approach to this topic in this course.
