About

The Master's specialisation in Philosophy of Religion (Research) at Radboud University explores both classical questions concerning religion, such as the problem of evil, the conceptualization of faith and religious practices, and the issues of religious pluralism and (in)tolerance.

Visit the official programme website for more information

Overview

 You will focus on questions like what is the relation between philosophy and religion in Western culture and in other cultural contexts? How does modern and contemporary philosophy reflect on religion? What is meant by a philosophical critique of religion? Which theories of religion have been developed? What is religious experience? Key authors include Agamben, Kierkegaard, Nietzsche, Weber, Freud, De Certeau, Foucault, Gauchet, Said and Taylor.

Future career opportunities

This Master's specialisation in Philosophy of Religion (Research) at Radboud University   has been designed for people with the ambition to conduct philosophical research at a university. Graduates tend to fall into one of three groups:

  • A majority of the students continue their research within academia by applying for a doctoral programme in the Netherlands or abroad. We take particular pride in the fact that more than 60 percent of our graduates manage to obtain a PhD position within two years of graduating.
  • A second group goes on to teach philosophy at secondary schools.
  • And a third group enters research-related professions outside of education.

    • Our graduates are also represented in journalism, science policy, and politics.

    Programme Structure

    Courses include:

    • Contemporary philosophical approaches of religion and religious thought
    • Anthropological questions in relation to religion
    • Religion in intercultural perspective
