Title: Topics in Religion & Phil
Course Section Number: REL-275-01
Department: Religion
Description: REL 275-01: Topics in Religion and Philosophy: Religion and Science. Are religion and science in conflict with each other? In agreement? How or why, one way or the other? These are our questions. We'll do two main things in this course. First, we'll take a careful look at the different "ways of knowing" that are characteristic of science and religion, respectively. Second, we'll look at several models for thinking critically and responsibly about how they are related. Readings will include selections from Bertolt Brecht, Alan Lightman, Jacob Bronowski, John Polkinghorne, and others, as well as some classic texts in the history of science.
