The aim is to cultivate a deep understanding of some of the most fundamental questions in philosophy. LEARNING OUTCOMES By the end of this course students should: 1. Be able to demonstrate a good understanding of key areas in the current sciencereligion interface and to engage with them philosophically. 2. Be able to demonstrate strong analytical skills and philosophical acumen in approaching debates between science and theology. 3. Be able to engage critically with key textual sources in the field. 4. Be able to engage constructively in cross-disciplinary conversations. 5. Have demonstrated an openness to personal growth through a commitment to dialogue across intellectual and cultural boundaries. 1
2 2 REQUIREMENTS AND ASSSESSMENTS This course will primarily be assessed through the submission of an essay of no more than 2500 words on a topic set by the course organiser. This will account for 85% of the student s course mark.
