PHL 4061 SEMINAR: PHILOSOPHY FOR A NEW GENERATION
Philosophy for a New Generation is a course that will utilize, extensively, the discipline of metaphysics. This coursed will give students a robust understanding of both sides of the “God Debate.” Beginning with Nietzsche and Bertrand Russell and climaxing with the “New Atheists,” Dawkins, Hitchens, Harris, and Dennett, students will become fluent in the language of “Modern Atheism .” These arguments will be weighed for their philosophical merit in contrast to both classical and current arguments for the existence of God.
