Philosophy of Religion: Thinking Deeply about Faith

Together, we'll explore core questions in philosophy of religion: Does God exist? What's the difference between religion and spirituality? Is it possible to prove that there is a supernatural realm? What does a materialist worldview imply about the existence of the mind - or the soul? Can life be meaningful without faith?
Whether you just started thinking more about these issues - or have been pondering these questions for a while - this class will help you gain clarity about your beliefs (and experiences) and help you move forward in your journey.

Extra information

No prior knowledge of philosophy is necessary.

About Me

I'm a university lecturer with a passion for making philosophy accessible to everyone. I have a Ph.D. in Philosophy from UNC-Chapel Hill, and I've taught at universities in the United States, Australia, the UK, and most recently, the Netherlands.

I especially like working with students who've never taken philosophy before, as well as with those who have tried philosophy and found it annoying, frustrating, or impossible to understand. I've been there -- the mandatory philosophy course I had to take in college was a disappointment. I was lucky to experience better teaching after that, and I hope to help others discover philosophy, and to learn to do it on their own terms.

My expertise is in the philosophy of mind, ethics, bioethics, epistemology, philosophy of religion, and philosophy of art.

Reviews (1)

Anya really knows her way around both in breadth and depth of her field. She asks really cool questions in such a way, that it stimulates thinking together. I can recommend her 100% based on the sessions we had and looking forward to the papers we will discuss :)
What is the nature of consciousness? Is there a self? Is the mind identical to the brain? Can life have meaning in a physical universe? These are big questions that philosophy can help tackle. Together, we will talk about how to understand these questions more precisely, look at some answers, and learn how to approach both questions and answers using critical thinking tools. Who is this class for? Students who've never taken philosophy, adults who are interested in exploring big ideas, and scientists and entrepreneurs who'd like to learn how to think about these questions in a more rigorous way.
Have a research thesis (BA, MA, PhD) you've been struggling with for a while? Need help with defining your research topic or finding a good structure for what you want to say? Have a pressing deadline and a ton of work that still needs to be done or processed? I offer thesis help and guidance to help you get to the finish line with ease and on time. Daily meetings are available for projects with urgent deadlines.

Basic knowledge of Islam for both the born Muslim, the convert and the interested in Islam.
Basic knowledge about Islam: Doctrine ('Aqeedah): - The Muslim believes in Allah. Who is that? - The Muslim believes in the Angels. Who are they? and who created them? - The Muslim believes in all the heavenly books. Which are they? - The Muslim believes in all prophets. Also in Jesus and Moses. How is that possible? - The Muslim believes in the Last Day. What does that mean? What comes after this day? - The Muslim believes in fate. Is everything already described? Did everything have to happen to us the way it happened? Jurisprudence (Fiqh): - (in the making)

If you are interested in learning more about Quran and Hadith studies, you can check out online Quran and hadees and tafseer
Quran and Hadith are two of the most important sources of Islamic teachings and guidance. They are often studied together in various courses and programs. Here is a brief overview of what they are and how they differ: - Quran is the holy book of Islam, containing the words of Allah as revealed to Prophet Muhammad through the angel Gabriel. Quran is considered the direct, unaltered, and infallible word of God. Quran has 114 chapters (surahs) and over 6,000 verses (ayahs) that cover various topics such as faith, worship, law, morality, history, and science. Quran is written in classical Arabic and has a unique style and structure. Quran is recited and memorized by Muslims in its original language, and has been translated into many other languages. Quran is also the subject of various disciplines of scholarship, such as exegesis (tafsir), recitation (qira'at), and hermeneutics. - Hadith refers to the sayings, actions, and approvals of Prophet Muhammad, as reported by his companions and later scholars. Hadith serves as a secondary source of Islamic teachings after the Quran, and provides guidance on how to implement the Quranic principles in various situations. Hadith has various collections and classifications, depending on the authenticity and reliability of the narrators and the chains of transmission (isnad). Hadith is also the basis of various fields of Islamic sciences, such as jurisprudence (fiqh), theology (kalam), ethics (akhlaq), and history (sirah).
