This course examines the distinctiveness, interrelation, relative limitations, and relative scope of three sometimes-rivalrous epistemologies: faith, reason, and science. Are traditional religions such as Judaism, Christianity, and Islam compatible with the exercise of logic, as well as the evidence of our senses? Can belief in the existence of an omnipotent and benevolent God be reconciled to the existence of human pain and suffering? Is belief in evolution compatible with belief that the world was created by God? What is the scientific method? Can we operate on the assumption that the world is entirely material, or is speculation about metaphysics and the supernatural an inevitable given of the human condition? Through guided reading and in-class discussion, students acquire an in-depth knowledge of many of the most important and influential debates about the relation between faith, reason, and science from antiquity to the Enlightenment.
