Lectures on “Adventures in Science, Religion and Philosophy” (in English)

Yaser Mirdamadi: If you are interested in science, religion, and philosophy, and the relationship between these three (and especially if you are interested in the question of whether these three can be compatible with one another, or whether one or two of these categories must be set aside in favor of another), I suggest you do not miss the introductory lecture series offered by the educational company “Coursera.” I have downloaded all the classes (both the main and optional lectures) and converted them into audio files, which are accessible on the Sedanet website. However, watching the original video files on the Coursera site itself offers a greater educational benefit (registration on this site is free). This audio format is more suitable for those who want to listen to the useful lectures while on the move. The language of this course is English, and it is an introductory course. This collection contains 39 audio files, and listening to these files takes between 3 and 19 minutes, depending on whether they are short or long.
