<p>Are philosophy lecturers at religious Universities one-sided?</p>
<p>No. Not anymore than you look like your sibling.</p>
<p>No. I went to APU and my philosophy class covered all the basics (Socrates, Plato, Aristotle, Hume, Decartes, Sartre, etc). In fact my prof went out of her way to make us consider both sides (and religious v. non-religious arguments).</p>
<p>Now this is an intriguing question.</p>
<p>One might wonder both about the definition of “religious” university …and one-sided philosophy …and where the greater dangers might lie for sitting in on narrow, lop-sided instruction, especially in this subject.</p>
<p>Oh Lord, help us.:rolleyes:</p>
<p>At Notre Dame, all bias seems to have been eliminated. So much so that one can take philosophy classes based on many Eastern thoughts.</p>
<p>Your “bias” is called worldview …values …theology. Once upon a time, Notre Dame’s was a lot different than the run-of-the-mill secular institutions. </p>
<p>My interpretation of what you’re saying is that NDU has not been “emancipated” from its Catholicism. It has abandoned it in favor of the world. No diff than taking the course at Slippery Rock, Salem, Sacramento. They’ve seen the “light” and are hell-bent in heading towards it.</p>
