Join us for a friendly online taster lecture to support your current studies and find out what it might be like to study philosophy at university.
Session time: Monday 16 June, 16.15-17.00
Dr Philip Wilson teaches the Philosophy of Religion at University of East Anglia and, in this Religious Studies/Philosophy session, will run an interactive talk for students on Religious Pluralism: What Makes Religion ‘True’?
In everyday life, we value consistency. If Anna tells me that today is Monday and Barbara tells me that today is Tuesday, then I assume that one of them is making a mistake: or perhaps both of them are making a mistake! What happens, then, when we turn to religion? Can more than one religion be true? Can only one be true? Might all religions be true? We have the issue of religious pluralism.
This interactive lecture draws on the philosophy of Ludwig Wittgenstein to ask if it is possible to look at religion in ways that differ from how we assess whether Anna or Barbara is right about which day of the week it is.
Suitable for: Aged 16+ pre-university students studying, or with a possible interest in studying, Religious Studies, Philosophy and related disciplines. Student groups as well as students and teachers joining individually are very welcome.
