Fall 2009 Philosophy Proseminar Faith & Reason Seminar

Return to Philosophy Proseminar

Introduction

We'll try a seminar style approach to readings for this class, using a variety of sources and only requiring a few of them for the class. You should read the required readings AND pick one or two of the other readings as well. We'll try to use the "talk page" (discussion tab above) for pre-class discussion and additional posting.

Readings

Routledge Encyclopedia Articles on Faith and Reason: [1] and [2] (required)

John Paul, Fides et Ratio

Faith, Reason, & Science: The View from the Catholic Tradition

Antony Flew, Theology & Falsification

Summary of William James' approach to religious belief
