Explore the philosophy of religion through rational understanding of various beliefs and the intersection of spirituality and politics across major religions.
This course dives into the philosophy of religion, exploring key viewpoints from 2000 years of philosophical thought. You'll gain insights into various religious beliefs, proofs of God, and the influence of politics on spirituality—all presented in an objective way to help you think critically about your own beliefs.
Philosophy of religion: spirituality and politics in religion (Buddhism, Islam, Christianity, Judaism, Hinduism, Taoism)
In this philosophy of religion course you will learn about the philosophy of religion, which is a branch of philosophy (not theology) that focuses on using rational understand to comprehend various religious phenomenons and beliefs.
How Is This Philosophy Course Structured?
In the course I present the leading opinions about religion from the top philosophers from the last 2000 years. I cover philosophers starting from Socrates to modern existential and nihilistic views on philosophy, and the evolution of religion from ancient times to the present. I equally present the rationalizations and proofs of God as well as reasons not to believe in God. I also point out when politics takes over, and how to make the distinction, and not let politics take over.
The course is 100% objective. At rare times I offer my own opinions, but I always try to give both sides of arguments by philosophers on both sides of the issues I present.
Additionally, I NEVER single out any religion or ANY group of people. My goal for this philosophy of religion course was to present it as objectively as possible, and let you decide on your eventual beliefs. I just introduce philosophy of religion approximately as it would be taught in an undergraduate philosophy of religion course.

This course was exactly looking for. Covering main philosophical thoughts in a brief and concise manner.
This course is way too short. Based on what we got from this course and what other courses teach for the same price, the price of this course seems way too high.
Good logical research-based information
All the concepts were perfectly put together. Just the matter of fact that the course could have been interesting with some graphical demonstrations. Nonetheless, enjoyed the course :)
More elaborated discussion would be entertained.
I Enjoyed it as something that nudged me in right way of thinking about the terms. Teacher explained it clearly. I am not giving 5 stars is because I wanted more topics like Ockhams razor to be involved in this. I like this course any how
The course could have elaborated more on the theoretical definitions of various philosophers.
The course was good, I would like to get a bit more in depth about individual philosophies but maybe that is for a subsequent course. Overall a very good intro to philosophy and religion!
outstanding course!!!
It was an extremely basic course, the topics being covered were watered down to their bare bones and simplified to near obsolescence. It was extremely superficial.
Also, the teacher's presentation style was distractingly poor. Certain 4-5-minute-long videos could be cut down to less than 2 minutes if you remove all the times the teacher kept stumbling over his words or repeating the same point over and over again as he stumbled over formulating his next sentence.
