| Outline and Purpose of the Course |
While religion and philosophy share the fundamental questions of human existence, they have formed a complex relationship that has historically been fraught with tension.The practice of religious philosophy, which attempts to contemplate from the perspective of the whole, has developed historically with a multifaceted nature, and has significant ideological potential even today. The purpose of this class is to enable students to obtain a comprehensive view of the complex structure of religious philosophy by chronically following through the transition to the present day. |
|||
| Course Goals | Students will acquire an attitude that traces the relationship between religion and philosophy and its transitions back to the fundamental question of which both sides are broken. It cultivates an interest in the vast semantic world of religion and enables the conceptual thinking of philosophy to be connected to living problems. | |||
