Learning outcomes
|
The aim of this course is to acquaint students with key questions in the relationship between religion (foremost Christianity) and science. Students will be introduced into premises of such a dialog, into history of its development. Questions about reasonableness of faith and philosophical-theological premises of science will be also discussed.
Students will acquire informations and skills for arguing a positive relationship between religion (foremost Christianity) and science. Students will be also introduced into proper "logic" of both religion and science in their approach to describe and study the reality both in their dissimilarity and in their complementarity.
