Description

Philosophy and theology are dedicated to a search for human meaning, relevance and truth. However, these two disciplines approach these questions in different ways and from different perspectives. It will be the intention of this class to use these disciplines together in an effort to allow each to assist the others so as to help us achieve some insight into the nature of the human condition. This class will attempt to look into a serious discussion of theology by means of the rigorous tools of philosophy. The class will delve into a discussion of both revealed and rational approaches to religion, divinity, and transcendence. The works of Immanuel Kant, Soren Kierkegaard and Paul Tillich will play a large role in this class.
