Philosophy of religion

Petr Dvořák, LS 1/1, zp

The course is a survey of some fundamental issues and topics in the analytic philosophy of religion: (i) the nature of religious
language, (ii) the proofs for the divine existence, (iii) problems and paradoxes related to God's omniscience, omnipotence
and ontological primacy over creation, (iv) the problem of evil and the free will defense. The emphasis is placed on Western
understanding of the divine (in the so-called Abrahamic traditions).
Each topic is introduced by way of a lecture followed by readings in the field, accompanied by discussion. The student
chooses either to write a paper on some issue of interest or undergo a discussion with the instructor at the end of the course
testing general grasp of the materials.
