General description

This program of study provides basic knowledge of the history and current issues of philosophy of religion (including phenomenological-hermeneutic, analytic / post-analytic approaches), enabling participants to critically and independently address the basic problems and central positions taken in the philosophy of religion. A particular focus of the program is the topic of “religion and science.” Here, historical and current issues relating to the relationship between (primarily Christian but in some cases also Jewish and Islamic) theology and the natural sciences are addressed and their foundations are reflected. This non-consecutive Master’s degree program in Philosophy of Religion / Religion and Science consists of 30 ECTS credits and is completed with a major paper on the topic of “religion and science.”
