3.2.11 Philosophy Credits: 8 Description: Over a semester you will be introduced to the main ideas in Western philosophy and how they developed. Attention is given to the way in which such philosophy has shaped the world in which we live, and how the Christian responds both to the notions themselves as well as to questions about how our listeners, influenced as they are by philosophy through the media, hear the gospel. Positive application is made by way of illuminating the student’s own presuppositions, as well as developing critical tools of thought and analysis helpful in theology. The way in which theology harnesses or interacts with philosophy is also covered. Learning Outcomes: At the conclusion of the course you should be able to • articulate the main contours of Western philosophy and show ability to recognise the ideas of key philosophers. • articulate something of what philosophy actually entails and its practical helpfulness to the Christian preacher especially in pastoralia • employ philosophical questioning in regard to various theories e.g. the theory of evolution • demonstrate some understanding of the use of philosophy within theology e.g. in the creeds, in the doctrine of the Trinity etc. 33
