How Is This Philosophy Course Structured?
In the course I present the leading opinions about religion fromthe topphilosophers from the last 2000 years.Icover philosophers starting from Socrates to modern existential and nihilisticviews on philosophy, andthe evolution of religion from ancient times to the present. I equallypresent the rationalizations and proofs of God as well as reasons not to believe in God. I also point out when politics takes over, and how to make the distinction, and not let politics take over.
The course is 100% objective. At raretimes I offer my own opinions, but I always try to give both sides of arguments by philosophers on both sides of the issues I present.
Additionally, I NEVER single out any religion or ANY group of people. My goal for this philosophy of religioncourse was to present itas objectively as possible, and let you decide on your eventual beliefs. I just introduce philosophy of religion approximately as it would be taught in an undergraduate philosophy of religion course.
