Course content

The Philosophy and Religion: Eastern and Western Thought programme is a distance-learning course designed for students who want to explore important philosophical and religious issues about life and the nature of our existence but don’t want to be limited in their study to one particular pathway or tradition.

It explores key topics in philosophy and religion, such as the nature of the self, the nature of reality, and the nature of religious experiences, from various philosophical and religious perspectives, from both eastern and western traditions.
