PHIL 202 - Philosophy of Religion

Unit(s): 4

What counts as a ‘religion’? Must it affirm the existence of God? What do most people and cultures seem to mean by ‘God’? Can the existence of God be demonstrated? Is it reasonable to believe God exists? Can God’s existence be reconciled with human freedom and with the existence of evil? The course takes up these and related questions, ponders the answers given by classical and contemporary thinkers, and discusses them. Offered intermittently.
