PH314 Faith & Reason Philo of Religion

This course examines the nature and origins of faith, current challenges to the rationality of faith (posed by alternatives such as materialism, evidentialism, scientism, fideism, and pluralism), and common arguments for and against religious belief, such as arguments for God’s existence, the problem of evil, arguments for and against believing in miracles, and arguments that religious belief and practice are either good or bad (moral or immoral, healthy or unhealthy, oppressive or liberating). Offered every Spring.
