God Matters

October 4 @ 1:00 pm - 2:20 pm

God Matters

Led by R.J. Snell

According to Thomas Aquinas, some truths about God surpass the capacity of unaided human reason and require revelation, while other truths are knowable by unaided, natural reason. This seminar explores some puzzles of classical theism through reason alone, without appeal to revelation or any particular religious tradition or authority. What’s the existence of God? How does God’s existence relate to God’s attributes—and does this work intelligibly? How does divine knowledge allow for human freedom? What about evil?

Reading a variety of texts and exploring a variety of questions, the seminar explores whether or not classical theism, as understood philosophically, is coherent.

Reading prior to seminar is not required. Neither is religious belief. Open to all Princeton students, whatever their commitments.

Lunch is provided, as are all reading materials.
