| Course content and focus areas | The Master’s Program in
Philosophy of Religion is open to students holding a bachelor degree
(or an equivalent), who intend to specialize in the area of Philosophy
of Religion. Focused on research, the program grants a broad academic
discussion of questions that are essential to the Philosophy of
Religion, thereby proceeding primarily from a systematic, but also from
an historic point of view. Phenomena and traditions occurring in
the context of religion are reflected upon in terms of philosophical
standards of rationality. On the one hand, this process is based on the
discussion of central problems of theoretical and practical philosophy.
On the other hand, it grounds on an exemplary investigation of topics
crucial to theology and religious studies respectively. Thus, the
Master’s program shows an interdisciplinary design. Furthermore
it is characterized by its claim to consider continental approaches as
well as analytic approaches that dominate the philosophical landscape
in the Anglo-American world. In course of its first phase, the Master’s program trains the skill of precise analysis, reconstruction and discussion of concepts and arguments brought forward in the Philosophy of Religion. The second phase of the program highlights the capacity to elaborate and defend a self-contained philosophical position. By teaching these key competences, the Master’s Program prepares its graduates for a broad area of qualified jobs. They fulfill the requirements of professions in university and higher education. At the same time, they have access to non-philosophical jobs in business and public society that demand a conclusive assessment of complex problems raised within an intercultural and multi-religious society. |
