TTEASK018U Religion in Crisis: Nineteenth-Century European Thought

Volume 2013/2014
Content

Our goal is to explore the challenges to religious thinking in the nineteenth century that resulted from the Enlightenment’s demand that religion justify itself in terms of rationality. We will examine G.W.F. Hegel’s influential interpretation of the development of the various historical forms of religion and his analysis of religion as a form of knowing. This course is interdisciplinary and will include readings and discussions relevant for philosophy, theology and religious studies.
