Does God exist? Does life have a meaning or purpose? Is faith a route to knowledge or a lazy retreat from rationality, which tries to replace evidence with blind belief? In this course we will consider the ideas and arguments different philosophers have put forward related to such questions.
The format of classes is interactive. Classes will consist of presentations by the tutor and discussion in pairs and small groups. The aim is to address important questions in the philosophy of religion that still occupy thinking people today. Be prepared to discuss, think, and question. Expect even ideas that some hold sacred to be respectfully challenged.
There are no Entry Requirements for this course. Whether or not you are new to philosophy you are welcome.
This course is delivered online using Microsoft Teams.
You will need access to a computer or tablet with internet access to help make notes, undertake any research for your course, and complete any work and studies outside class times.
If the course has sparked your interest in the philosophy of religion, Morley College offers a range of related courses throughout the academic year.
