PHIL 3310, Atheism & Philosophy

TTh 2:40 – 4:15, James Union Building (JUB) 202

Exploring the philosophical, ethical, spiritual, existential, social, and personal implications of a godless universe, and to examine various philosophical perspectives on atheism, understood as the belief that no transcendent creator deity exists, and that there are no supernatural causes of natural events. The course compares and contrasts this belief with familiar alternatives (including theism, agnosticism, and humanism), considers the spiritual significance of atheism, and explores implications for ethics and religion.
