Basic Information ACADEMIC YEAR MODULE SYLLABUS 6AAT3602 PHILOSOPHY OF RELIGIOUS LIFE Module Level: 6 Credit Value: 15 credits Lecturer: Dr Clare Carlisle Seminars: Dr Clare Carlisle Semester: One Day and Time: Lectures on Tuesdays 12 noon-1pm Dates: Lectures begin on September 22 nd 2015 Note: no lectures or seminars in Reading Week (w/c October 26th) Room: Strand Office hours Mondays 2pm-3pm, Thursdays 10am-11am in VWB Outline of module aims, learning outcomes and content (a) Module educational aims This is a module on the philosophy of religion that draws on the modern European philosophical tradition. As well as examining the content of religious faith, it considers the nature and task of religious existence, through a focus on Søren Kierkegaard s 1843 text Fear and Trembling. The educational aims include the following: To develop a philosophical understanding of the religious life, through focus on a core text, Kierkegaard s Fear and Trembling To identify and reflect on key questions and problems arising from the core text and related texts To gain a broad understanding of the history of 19 th and 20 th -century philosophy and religious thought through engaging with primary and secondary texts To develop a critical awareness of methodological issues concerning the philosophical study of religion To develop skills in philosophical argument and in analysis of philosophical texts written in a range of styles (b) Module learning outcomes Generic skills: Critically evaluate primary texts and secondary literature to construct interpretations and arguments in a way which demonstrates a comprehensive knowledge of the course material Synthesise a range of philosophical material in an original manner in response to a given question Engage effectively in debate in a professional manner, and produce coherent presentations of ideas and arguments in oral and written form

2 2 Interact effectively with other students by contributing to class discussions, and by supporting other students in listening and responding to their contributions Manage own learning with minimal guidance, taking responsibility for own work and, when required, demonstrating an ability to reflect critically on it Seek and make use of feedback on own work Module-specific skills: Display detailed knowledge and understanding of the primary text (Kierkegaard s Fear and Trembling), including its philosophical method and literary style Engage autonomously in close readings of a range of philosophical texts, and identify thematic connections between them Demonstrate a grasp of the historical and philosophical context of Kierkegaard s thought Display confidence and flexibility in identifying and exploring complex issues, and select appropriate methods and textual sources for addressing these Demonstrate an awareness of the provisional, open-ended nature of philosophical knowledge and textual interpretation Demonstrate an ability to reflect philosophically on issues central to the religious life, such as suffering and the gift; finitude and death; the relationship between faith and ethics; the nature of religious virtues; the particular challenges of faith in modernity; religious identity and community (c) Module content: description and teaching plan The module uses Kierkegaard s Fear and Trembling to examine a series of philosophical questions about the religious life, focusing on Christian faith. At the end of the 19 th century, Nietzsche suggested that the modern era, at least in Europe, is characterised by the death of God. In this module we examine some of the particular challenges that faith faces in the modern era, and we consider how Kierkegaard, Nietzsche and other thinkers responded to these challenges. We will examine themes of finitude and fragility; religious identity; the relationship between faith and reason; the nature of spiritual virtues; and the concept of nihilism. We will also think about how Kierkegaard inspired by Socrates and Plato uses imaginative and literary techniques to communicate his ideas about Christian faith in the modern age. This module will be delivered by one lecture and one seminar per week. Attendance at all teaching sessions is compulsory. Sessions will include presentation of material by the lecturer, response to questions, and class discussion. There will be set readings each week, and students will be expected to prepare for sessions as directed by the lecturer. Each student will be offered constructive feedback on the coursework essay in a one-to-one tutorial. This feedback is an important part of the learning process and all students are expected to take advantage of the opportunity to receive feedback.

Assessment (a) Nature of assessment There is no formative assessment (i.e. assessment that students are expected to submit, but which does not count towards the final module mark), but only two compulsory elements of summative assessment, both of which contribute to the final module mark: 1 x 3000-word coursework essay, the title to be chosen from the list provided at the end of this module syllabus (worth 40% of the overall module mark). Do not formulate your own essay title. 1 x 2-hour unseen written examination, in which two questions must be answered, from a choice of six (worth 60% of the overall module mark).

4 4 (b) Coursework essay deadline, revision class and examination period The deadline for the submission of the assessed coursework essay is BEFORE 4pm on Thursday, October 22 nd You will then receive feedback on your essay on KEATS no later than November 12 th. A one-hour revision class will be held in the last week of Semester 1 please see lecture schedule above. The examination will take place in Period I (January 2016). (c) Past papers Exam papers from previous years are available in the KEATS module area. (d) Scope of assessment Coursework essay questions generally relate to some topics covered in the first half of the module. Examination questions normally deal with most of the remaining topics, but care is taken to avoid overlap across both sets of questions. Some examination questions may be formulated so as to encourage analysis, in the same answer, of topics that were investigated in different sessions, including those that fell early in the module. (e) How to impress the examiners In the assessed coursework essay and examination answers, successful students will need to demonstrate a nuanced grasp of any topic, an awareness of its context and a capacity to develop a well-reasoned argument that is convincingly supported by reference to suitable evidence and is presented in a structured manner using clear English. Make sure that you consult the generic Undergraduate Marking Criteria document. Poor English (e.g. grammar, punctuation and spelling) will lead to loss of marks. Inadequate scholarly presentation of the assessed coursework essay (e.g. over the styles of footnotes/endnotes and bibliography) will similarly be penalized. Discussion of the best approaches to meeting these requirements forms part of the teaching programme in the module. Students should seek advice if they are unsure of anything. (f) Submitting coursework Essays should be submitted electronically on KEATS. All essays will be checked by electronic plagiarism detection software. Please note the following important information: (i) Your essay must not exceed the word limit. The limit includes all footnotes/endnotes, but excludes the bibliography, which you should provide. There is a 5% tolerance: no penalty will be incurred for essays that are up to 5% over the word limit. Beyond that tolerance band, two marks will be deducted for every 5% of excess words until 50% is reached. After 50%, three marks will normally be deducted for each further 5% of excess words. (ii) Your essay must consistently be set out in accordance with a recognized citation system. You are strongly encouraged to follow the College s ISS Citing References guide, which can be accessed via the website. Accurate citation of sources, in such a manner as to enable a reader easily to identify and locate them, is very important in academic writing. Please note that the presentation of your work, including the standard of English and the quality of source referencing and bibliographical provision, has a strong bearing on the mark given for it. (iii) The first page of the submitted coursework essay must be a School of Arts & Humanities cover-sheet (downloadable via the departmental handbook), with the requisite information

5 5 inserted completely and accurately. Pay careful attention when giving your candidate number, which changes for each academic year, as your work cannot be attributed to you on the College systems if this information is either incomplete or wrong. (iv) It must be submitted via the assessment submission section of the KEATS area for the module, by the published deadline. Late submissions will be treated as follows unless an extension has been granted by the Chair of the BA Programme Board of Examiners on the basis of an Extension Request Form (ERF), supplied with supporting evidence, or comes to be granted retrospectively: o Work submitted within 24 hours after the original deadline will be marked, but the mark for this element will be capped at 40%. o Work submitted more than 24 hours of the original deadline will not be marked, and the submission will receive a mark of zero. An extension may be granted retrospectively, providing the ERF and supporting documentation is submitted no later than 2 weeks after the published coursework submission deadline. Note that extensions cannot be granted by individual module teachers. ERFs and NEAs can be downloaded from the Policy Zone of the College website. Please also note the following points: (i) Check that you understand the rules for submitting assessed coursework. Be aware that the deadline for this submission is FINAL. (ii) Check that you understand College rules on plagiarism. Information about plagiarism is available via the College website, at: and you should also have been enrolled on a KEATS plagiarism module. (iii) Collusion also counts as misconduct. Think twice before circulating your work to other students. (g) Marking policy Work submitted for this module will be assessed according to Model 3, as modified by the BA Programme Board of Examiners. For a definition of this model, check the Marking Policy part of the departmental web pages, which can be found at: spx The examiners following Model 3 will apply the generic Undergraduate Marking Criteria, which can be found at: (h) Essay questions (1.) To what extent is Kierkegaard s Fear and Trembling a response to a specifically modern religious situation? (2.) Kierkegaard aspired to be a Socrates of Christendom. How successfully does he achieve this in Fear and Trembling? (3.) How useful is Jonathan Lear s discussion of irony in illuminating the religious life?

6 6 4. Assessment for Study Abroad Students If you are studying at KCL for the whole academic year, then you follow the same assessment regime as ordinary KCL undergraduates: see Section 3 above. This means that you must be available for an examination that may be timetabled for January; remember this if you are booking flights home for Christmas. If you are studying at KCL for Michaelmas Semester only, then you must submit a second essay (3500 words) in lieu of the summer examination. Choose another essay title from the list given at the end of this module syllabus. The submission deadline for the second essay will be in December Essays in lieu of exams should be submitted in hard copy to the department office because these essays will be archived with the corresponding exam scripts from the rest of the cohort. 5. What to bring to lectures and seminars Apart from materials that will enable you to take notes, bring this module syllabus to every lecture. It is very important that you bring to seminars the designated reading for that session, together with the notes you have made in preparation for the seminar discussion. 6. KEATS All resources and information relating to this module are on KEATS. Core and recommended reading for each week of the module is on KEATS, and it is your responsibility to check and keep up with this reading. KEATS is also used for coursework submission, marking and feedback, so it is essential to use KEATS during the whole course of the module. 7. Assistance I am always willing to discuss your work and to answer questions. Please contact me as follows: me at clare.carlisle@kcl.ac.uk telephone me on (leave a message if I m not in my office) come to see me in VWB 3.20 or in K2.38 (in the King s Building) during my office hour. Fixing a time in advance (by ) is helpful, as I sometimes move between offices. 8. Lecture handouts Printed copies of lecture handouts will be distributed at each lecture. Electronic copies will be available on KEATS, together with core and recommended reading. It is your responsibility to print out core readings and to bring them to the seminars.
