Philosophy, Science and Religion mark three of the most fundamental ways of thinking about the world and our place in it. Are these modes incompatible? Put another way: is it intellectually responsible to 'take sides' and identify with one of these approaches to the exclusion of the others? Or are they complementary or mutually supportive? As is typical of questions of this magnitude, the devil is in the details. For example, it is important to find out what really distinguishes each of these ways of inquiring about the world. To gain some clarity here, we'll investigate what some of today's leading thinkers in philosophy, science, and religion are actually doing. This course, titled 'Philosophy and Religion', is the second of three related courses in our online Philosophy, Science and Religion series, and in this course we will ask important questions about the age-old debate between science and religion, such as: • What What kind of conflicts are there between religion and science? • Does the current cognitive science of religion effectively explain God? • If there is a God who has made us to know him, why don't some people believe? • Is the belief in science also a kind of fundamentalism? • What makes us good at gaining, giving, or sharing knowledge? Is this different when it comes to religious knowledge? The first course in the Philosophy, Science and Religion series, 'Science and Philosophy', launched in early 2017 and you can enroll in it at any time. The third course, 'Religion and Science', will be released in early 2018. Completing all three courses will give you a broader understanding of this fascinating subject.
