授業の概要

We live in a world the majority of whose population consider themselves, at least nominally, to be adherents of Christianity or Islam, and it goes without saying that no in-depth understanding of the world we live in is possible without an insight into the belief systems of these two religions. These two religions have, in turn, constructed their thought systems through a dialogue of ‘faith’ and ‘reason’, that is to say, through the interaction between the revealed ‘truths’ as found in their sacred books and the systems of rational thought which they largely inherited from the Greeks. What we shall do in our course is to investigate the mechanism of this interaction by looking at the way in which some of the major thinkers of Christianity and Islam attempted to explain the tenets of their faiths in terms of the science and philosophy of their times.
We shall begin the course by reminding ourselves of some of the major tenets of Christianity and Islam, such as those relating to the existence of God, Creation, divine revelation and human salvation, and go on to examine the way in which some of the major Christian and Muslim thinkers of the past attempted to explain these articles of faith in terms of the thought systems they inherited from the Hellenistic world. In the latter part of the semester, the students will be expected to choose certain items of the Christian and Muslim creeds that are of interest to them, research the history of the way in which those items have been treated, present their findings in class, and put together the results of their research in their end-of-semester reports.
