课程名称：哲学、科学与宗教：宗教与科学 课程概述：哲学、科学与宗教是思考世界及我们在其中位置的三种最基本的方式。这些思维模式是否不相容？换句话说，理智的选择是否是“选边站”，排除其他方式？还是说它们是互补或相辅相成的？这种重大问题的细节中藏有挑战。我们将探讨这三种探究世界的方式各自的独特性，并研究当今哲学、科学和宗教领域的领先思想家的观点。 本课程是“哲学、科学与宗教”在线系列的第三门课程，将涵盖五个主题，分别由该领域的专家主讲： 1. 宇宙的科学、宗教与起源（蒂姆·莫德林教授，纽约大学） 2. 佛教与科学（格雷厄姆·普里斯特教授，城市大学） 3. 进化与设计（凯文·夏普博士，圣安德鲁斯大学） 4. 罪、痛苦与救赎：进化的棘手问题（贝丝·索勒德博士，牛津大学） 5. 科学、神学与伦理中的人类独特性（大卫·克劳夫教授，切斯特大学） 前两门课程“科学与哲学”和“哲学与宗教”于2017年推出，您可以随时注册这些课程。完成这些课程并不是参加本课程的必要条件，但完成三门课程将使您更好地理解这一迷人话题。 完成所有三门课程后，学生将能够： 1. 理解当前科学与宗教辩论中的主要参数。 2. 对相关科学领域有一定了解，包括宇宙学、进化论和神经科学，并开始进行概念上的探讨。 3. 接触科学与宗教交汇处的关键哲学方法，并有机会进行实际探讨。 4. 在跨学科的对话中积极开展讨论。 5. 体现出在智识与精神边界对话中个人成长的开放态度。 您也可以在Twitter上关注我们，网址是： https://twitter.com/EdiPhilOnline，并查看标签#psrmooc。
Name:Introduction to the Course
Description:
Name:Science, Religion and the Origins of the Universe
Description:In this module Tim Maudlin, Professor of the Foundations of Physics at New York University (NYU) discusses stories and theories of the origins of the cosmos from the perspectives of various religions, philosophy, and Science. He then explains what our physics tells us and compares this to the origins stories.
Name:BUDDHISM AND SCIENCE
Description:In this module Graham Priest, Distinguished Professor of Philosophy at City University of New York (CUNY) outlines the background and basic ideas of Buddhism. After considering whether Buddhism is compatible with science, he goes on to explain how some aspects of Buddhist thought are relevant to contemporary logic and science.
Name:EVOLUTION AND DESIGN
Description:In this module Kevin Scharp, Reader in Philosophy at the University of St Andrews introduces one of the most common arguments for Intelligent Design and considers whether it is a genuine scientific competitor to, or can even be made compatible with, evolutionary theory. He then presents the Fine-Tuning Argument for the existence of God and its criticisms.
Name:SIN, SUFFERING AND SALVATION: EVOLUTION’S THORNY ISSUES
Description:In this module Bethany Sollereder, Postdoctoral Fellow in Science and Religion at the University of Oxford considers questions that arise in Christian Theology as a result of accepting evolutionary theory.
Name:HUMAN UNIQUENESS IN SCIENCE, THEOLOGY AND ETHICS
Description:In this module David Clough, Professor of Theological Ethics at Chester University investigates three ways in which the question of human uniqueness prompt questions at the interface of theology and science. It asks ‘Are we alone in the Universe?’, ‘Where did we come from?’ and ‘Are we just animals?’ before going on to consider the ethical implications of a theological approach that engages these questions seriously.
Philosophy, Science and Religion mark three of the most fundamental modes of thinking about the world and our place in it. Are these modes incompatible? Put another way: is the intellectually responsible thing to do to ‘pick sides’ and identify with one of these approaches at the exclusion of others? Or, are they complementary or mutually supportive? As is typical of questions of such magnitude, the devil is in the details. For example, it is important to work out what is really distinctive about each of these ways of inquiring about the world. In order to gain some clarity here, we’ll be investigating what some of the current leading thinkers in philosophy, science and religion are actually doing. This course, entitled ‘Religion and Science’, is the third of three related courses in our Philosophy, Science and Religion Online series. The course will address five themes, each presented by an expert in the area. 1. Science, Religion, and the Origin of the Universe (Professor Tim Maudlin, NYU ) 2. Buddhism and Science (Professor Graham Priest, CUNY) 3. Evolution and Design (Dr Kevin Scharp, St Andrews) 4. Sin Suffering and Salvation: Evolutions Thorny Issues (Dr Bethany Sollereder, Oxford) 5. Human Uniqueness in Science, Theology, and Ethics (Professor David Clough, Chester) The first and second courses in the Philosophy, Science and Religion series, 'Science and Philosophy' and 'Philosophy and Religion' were launched in 2017 and you can sign up to these at any time. It is not necessary to have completed these courses to follow this course. However, completing all three courses will give you a broader understanding of this fascinating topic. Look for: • Philosophy, Science and Religion I: Science and Philosophy - https://www.coursera.org/learn/philosophy-science-religion-1 • Philosophy, Science and Religion II: Philosophy and Religion - https://www.coursera.org/learn/philosophy-science-religion-2 Upon successful completion of all three courses, students will: (1) Understand the main parameters at stake in the current debate between science and religion. (2) Have some familiarity with the relevant areas of science that feature in the debate—including cosmology, evolution, and the neurosciences—and will have begun to engage with them conceptually. (3) Have encountered key philosophical approaches to the interface between science and religion, and will have had the opportunity to engage them in practice. (4) Have embarked constructively in cross-disciplinary conversations. (5) Have demonstrated an openness to personal growth through a commitment to dialogue across intellectual and spiritual boundaries.
