THEO 0539 - Philosophy for Understanding Theology

This course endeavours to acquaint students with the history of philosophy from pre-Socratics to modernity, especially where the history of thought intersects with theology. The course seeks to inform students of the Western world’s intellectual (and, to less extent, the social and political) development and to indicate where this development has influenced theological understanding and articulation even where theologians may not have been aware of philosophy’s “encroachment.” Offered bi-annually.
