Religion 226 - Intro to the Phil of Religion

'This course surveys the classical responses major Western thinkers have had to great religious questions. Ancient Greece, the Enlightenment, the nineteenth and twentieth centuries serve as the primary periods of focus. Works by Plato, Anselm, Aquinas, Hume, Kant, Dostoevsky, Marx, Kierkegaard, and Tillich are just a few of the materials we will read. The classical arguments for G-D's existence, as well as the nature of human freedom, and the place of reason and faith in social life will be addressed.'
