PHIL 170 SC -Faith and Reason

Institution: Scripps

Description: An examination of the relation between faith and reason as bases for belief and other attitudes. We will focus on religious and scientific world views, but may also consider other subjects, such as social and political stances and controversies. Faith and reason are often understood as diametrically opposed in some way, and we will read and discuss historical and contemporary sources both for and against this opposition. These readings address question such as: what is faith, what is reason, is faith ever reasonable, and is reason based on faith?
