PHIL9250: Reason, Virtues, and Issues of Practice in the Church

This course examines the essential role of both critical and constructive thinking for sound scholarship and for the Church’s self-understanding as well as the formation of ethics and virtues with regard to the Church. Since these two areas function as touchstones for considering the behaviors and practices that the Church might engage to fulfill her calling, this course explores issues of critical thinking, metaphysics, ethics, and contemporary issues of ecclesial concern.
