Description<\/h2>\n

Philosophy, Science and Religion mark three of the most fundamental modes of thinking about the world and our place in it. Are these modes incompatible? Put another way: is the intellectually responsible thing to do to \u2018pick sides\u2019 and identify with one of these approaches at the exclusion of others? Or, are they complementary or mutually supportive? As is typical of questions of such magnitude, the devil is in the details. For example, it is important to work out what is really distinctive about each of these ways of inquiring about the world. In order to gain some clarity here, we\u2019ll be investigating what some of the current leading thinkers in philosophy, science and religion are actually doing.<\/p>\n

This course, entitled \u2018Science and Philosophy\u2019, is the first of three related courses in our Philosophy, Science and Religion Online series. The first launch is now closed to enrolments. We will launch a new version of the course in July 2018. The course will address four themes each presented by guest lecturers:<\/p>\n

1. Are Science and Religion in conflict? (Professor Michael Murray, Franklin & Marshall)
\n2. Neuroscience and Free Will (Professor Al Mele, Florida State)
\n3. Creationism and Evolutionary Biology–Science or Pseudo-science? (Dr. Mark Harris and Dr. David de Pomerai, University of Edinburgh)
\n4. Do Scientific claims constitute absolute truths? (Professor Martin Kusch, University of Vienna)<\/p>\n

The second and third courses in the Philosophy, Science and Religion series are \u2018Philosophy and Religion\u2019 and \u2018Religion and Science\u2019. They may be taken in any order and completing all three courses will give you a broader understanding of this fascinating topic. Look for: <\/p>\n

\u2022 Philosophy, Science and Religion II: Philosophy and Religion
\n\u2022 Philosophy, Science and Religion III: Religion and Science<\/p>\n
