| Main themes |
Religion belongs to human culture and thus has a general impact on man and, especially, involving man's reflection on his condition. This in particular establishes the philosophy of religion's place. Far removed from any positivist temptation (fundamentalism, fideism), this discipline ensures the believer as to the general conditions of religion in relation to thought. It moreover offers the unbeliever an approach to religion in its status as a thought system in cooperation with the human sciences. A Philosophy of Religion course takes its inspiration from the major precursors (Kant, Schelling, Hegel, etc...; as well as theologians when they express themselves as philosophers: Origen, Augustine, Thomas Aquinas, etc...). It seeks to arm against any confusing of theology and religious philosophy.

| Aims |
Be capable of explaining the relationship of philosophy and religion, while respecting both the originality of religion and philosophy's right to reflect on religion.

| Content |
The concept of Revelation in religion. Christianity as a revealed religion
The notion of Revelation is fundamental to Christianity, since Christianity puts itself forward as announcing the Revelation of God Himself, that is, His absolute and definitive Revelation, given that it is God in person who reveals himself in Christ. Thus Christianity establishes an extremely strong and close relationship between God and Revelation. The aim of the course is to enter into this articulation and to discover its philosophical implications, based on Hegel's reflections in his Lectures on the Philosophy of Religion
