| Popis: | The purpose of revising curricula is to modify and complete them based on evaluations and the changes in needs and data to update them. It is necessary to identify and eliminate the defects of previous curricula and complete them according to the developments in the scientific community of the relevant fields. This article seeks to review the revised curriculum of philosophy of religion in the master's degree and evaluate its strengths and weaknesses in modifying and updating the previous curriculum in accordance with the goals of the curriculum and developments in the scientific community of philosophy of religion. This evaluation is done by library research method in four areas i.e. theoretical foundations, course titles, syllabus, and resources. In general, the most important strong points of this curriculum are: paying attention to the new and indigenous Muslim topics in the philosophy of religion, removing some less relevant titles such as "different approaches to religion" and adding some new relevant titles like "miracles" and "anthropology", arranging the syllabus in more detail and with better logical order (for example, for the title "proofs of God"), and finally proposing a wide range of sources. On the other hand, among the weaknesses, the following can be mentioned: ambiguity in applying the concept of " Islamic philosophy of religion", the addition of some unrelated titles such as "religion and lifestyle", failure to select a suitable syllabus for some course titles like "logic of understanding the religion", and at last absence of some major and primary sources. |
