Philosophical - A free Open University course, 'Philosophy of religion'

The Open University is a great place to start no matter what sphere of study you are considering.


With more than 250,000 students enrolled, including around 32,000 aged under 25 and more than 50,000 overseas students, it is the largest academic institution in the United Kingdom (and one of the largest in Europe) by student number, and qualifies as one of the world's largest universities.

Try over 600 free online courses from The Open University. Available from introductory to advanced level, each takes between 1 and 50 hours to study.
Complete activities to assess your progress and compare your thoughts with sample answers. Sign up for free to track your progress, connect with other learners in our discussion forums and find the tools to help you learn.


Whilst searching for degree courses in philosophy, I encountered one of these free courses that actually forms part of course A222, 'Exploring philosophy'; a course I am hoping to find funding for.


The 'Introducing the philosophy of religion' course is a 12 hour, intermediate degree level course, and Timothy Chappell, Professor of Philosophy, asks what the words 'God' and 'religion' mean, and what it means to ask philosophical questions about them.
