Religion and culture in the current world

Back to Syllabus

Description
This course proposes an approach to some key themes in the dialogue between religion and culture based on the works of three significant exponents of the so-called "theological turn of contemporary French phenomenology." After introducing us to the intersections between phenomenology, metaphysics and religion, we will delve into the philosophical proposals of Emmanuel Levinas (1906-1995), Jean-Luc Marion (*1946) and Jean-Yves Lacoste (*1953), which will allow us to think in a new way, after Nietzsche's formulation of the "death of God," about the significance and relevance of religion, the notion of God, the possibility of revelation or the liturgical dimension of existence.

Methodology

The teaching methodology that will be used in the teaching of the subject is specified in:

Work in the classroom:
- Lectures.
- Practical classes, debate and commentary on texts in the classroom.
- Continuous Assessment.

Work or activities outside the classroom:
- Independent work of the students.
- Tutoring.

Evaluation

Ordinary session: In order to be assessed in the ordinary session, all the activities subject to assessment must have been completed. The assessable activities must be handed in on the dates indicated by the teaching staff. If an activity subject to assessment has not been handed in or completed, it will be recorded in the minutes as "Not submitted" in the session.

Extraordinary session: The assessment criteria are the same as in the ordinary session, so all the assessment activities considered in the course must be submitted. The grades for the activities completed will be kept, pending the completion of the pending activities. In this assessment, the same weighting criteria will be applied as in the ordinary assessment.

Evaluation Criteria

1. Written work (50%): Written work on a subject, work or author related to the subject, previously agreed with the professor. Personal research, appropriate use of textual sources, approach to the work, correct writing and application of formal conventions of an academic work will be valued.

2. Text comments (30%): Comments and questionnaires on some texts selected during the course. The ability to reasonedly defend ideas, the ability to delve deeper into the philosophical issue addressed and clarity of exposition will be valued.

3. Attendance and active participation in class (20%): Interaction, the ability to suggest questions, answers, alternatives and objections, the ability for specifically philosophical dialogue and the correct use of philosophical vocabulary will be valued.

Use of AI tools: If AI tools are used in any activity, a paragraph must be included indicating why AI has been used and what indications have been used to obtain the results. Failure to do so is a violation of academic honesty policies.
