REL 19.14 Cosmos, Justice, and Evil

Religious notions such as afterlife, resurrection of the dead, end-time, karma, and providence can all be categorized as claims that the universe must somehow be just.  The course will analyze several modalities of this claim, in popular and in philosophical forms, seeking to trace and to assess their source either to the demands of theodicy or to an intuition that life in an unjust universe is morally intolerable.

The Timetable of Class Meetings contains the most up-to-date information about a course. It includes not only the meeting time and instructor, but also its official distributive and/or world culture designation. This information supersedes any information you may see elsewhere, to include what may appear in this ORC/Catalog or on a department/program website. Note that course attributes may change term to term therefore those in effect are those (only) during the term in which you enroll in the course.
