Lectures, discussion, and short papers.

What does it mean to be human? How do different theories of what it means to be human affect the way that we think of ourselves, our relationship to the world and our relationship to God? In this course, we discuss various conceptions of human nature, including dualism, hylomorphism, evolutionary accounts and religious understandings. The objective of the course is understanding of the various theories of human nature, and to be able to engage in the debate about what it is that we are and how we engage with the world. The course is evaluated through two shorter papers (worth 15 and 25%), one long paper (worth 45%) and participation (15%).
This course is a philosophical examination of some fundamental questions in Christian metaphysics: Can we prove that God exists? What is God like? What is creation? How are God and creation related? More particularly, if God created everything, how do evolution and the Big Bang fit into the picture? We will attempt to formulate our own answers to each of these questions; but our discussion will make constant reference to the answers already present in the Christian tradition, especially to those of Thomas Aquinas.
