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 \u2018Philosophy and Religion\u2019, is the second of three related courses in our Philosophy, Science and Religion Online series, and in this course we will ask important questions about the age-old debate between science and religion, such as:<\/p>\n

\u2022 What kind of conflicts are there between religion and science?
\n\u2022 Does current cognitive science of religion effectively explain away God?
\n\u2022 If there is a God who has made us so that we can know him, why do some people not believe?
\n\u2022 Is belief in science also a kind of fundamentalism?
\n\u2022 What makes us good at getting, giving, or sharing, knowledge? Is this different when it is religious knowledge?<\/p>\n

The first course in the Philosophy, Science and Religion series, ‘Science and Philosophy’ was launched early in 2017 and you can sign up to it at any time. The third course \u2014\u2018Religion and Science\u2019\u2014will be launched early in 2018. Completing all three courses will give you a broader understanding of this fascinating topic. Look for: <\/p>\n

\u2022 Philosophy, Science and Religion I: Science and Philosophy https:\/\/www.coursera.org\/learn\/philosophy-science-religion-1\/
\n\u2022 Philosophy, Science and Religion III: Religion and Science<\/p>\n

Upon successful completion of all three courses, students will:<\/p>\n

(1) Understand the main parameters at stake in the current debate between science and religion.
\n(2) Have some familiarity with the relevant areas of science that feature in the debate\u2014including cosmology, evolution, and the neurosciences\u2014and will have begun to engage with them conceptually.
\n(3) Have encountered key philosophical approaches to the interface between science and religion, and will have had the opportunity to engage them in practice.
\n(4) Have embarked constructively in cross-disciplinary conversations.
\n(5) Have demonstrated an openness to personal growth through a commitment to dialogue across intellectual and spiritual boundaries.<\/p>\n
