The Beginnings The Carmelite Missionaries, who were sent to Malabar by Pope Alexander VII, started a small Seminary at Verapoly in 1682 for the formation of both the Latin and the Syrian clergy. Due to the lack of conveniences the Seminary at Verapoly was shifted to the new buildings at Puthenpally in 1866. In 1888, the Seminary at Puthenpally was constituted the Major Central Seminary for the whole of Malabar, and was placed under Congregation of Evangelization of Peoples. Owing to the increase in the number of students, a new Seminary with better accommodation was built at Mangalapuzha, Alwaye. The new Seminary was officially inaugurated on 28th January 1933. The increase in the priestly vocations necessitated further extension. On 24th November 1955 the new philosophical college at Carmelgiri was solemnly blessed and inaugurated by His Excellency Most Rev. Martin Lucas, then Apostolic Internuncio to India. In 1964 the Seminary was raised to the ‘Pontifical’ status by the Holy See. On June 12, 1976, the direction and administration of the Pontifical Seminary was entrusted to the Kerala Catholic Bishops’ Council.

Pontifical Institute of Theology and Philosophy The first step towards the realization of the plan for a Faculty had been taken on October 7, 1959, when the Congregation for Catholic Education issued a decree affiliating the theology department of the Seminary with the Lateran University, Rome. With this, the theology department of the Seminary became “Studium Theologicum” which was governed by norms given by the University and a convention between the Rector of the Lateran University and the Rector of the Seminary. 9 In April 1971, the Kerala Catholic Bishops’ Council sent a petition to the Congregation for Catholic Education for the erection of an autonomous Faculty. On February 24, 1972, the Congregation for Catholic Education issued the decree erecting the Theological Faculty in the Pontifical Seminary. The decree granted the new Faculty all the rights and privileges which were enjoyed by Theological Faculties. It also empowered the Faculty to confer suitable degrees to students who are successful in their studies and research. The power of conferring the degrees of Bachelor and Master (Licentiate) in theology was explicitly granted. On 15th February 1973, the Pontifical Institute of Theology and Philosophy, Alwaye, was officially inaugurated by His Excellency, the Most Rev. Dr. John Gordon, then Apostolic Pro-Nuncio to India. On 1st October 1974 the Congregation for Catholic Education issued a decree authorising the Pontifical Institute of Theology and Philosophy A BRIEF HISTORY OF PIA to confer the degree of Bachelor of Philosophy. On 25th April 1997, through a decree the Congregation for Catholic Education separated the Pontifical Institute from the Pontifical Seminary. At present the Pontifical Institute functions at two separate campuses - Mangalapuzha and Carmelgiri, and offers simultaneously courses of theology and philosophy in both campuses.

Academic Degrees At present the Institute confers the following Diplomas and Degrees: 1) Diploma in Philosophy 2) Bachelor of Philosophy 3) Diploma in Theology 4) Bachelor of Theology 5) Licentiate of Theology 6) Doctor of Theology

The Institute offers one year diploma in philosophy for students three year diploma course in Philosophy. The degree of Bachelor of intending to pursue theological studies. There is provision also to do 10 Philosophy is conferred on those who successfully complete the three years course in Philosophy. For those who like to do the theological studies without acquiring a degree, the Institute provides them three and a half years diploma course in the same. The degree of Bachelor of Theology is conferred on those who successfully complete the three and a half years course in Theology. The degree of Licentiate in Theology is conferred on those who successfully complete the four semesters of specialization in a prescribed branch of Theology. At present, Dogmatic-Moral Theology, Spiritual Theology, Biblical Theology and Pastoral Theology & Counselling are offered by the Institute as branches of specialization. The degree of Doctor of Theology is conferred after two semesters of the doctoral course and on fulfilment of the conditions stipulated by the Institute.

To be eligible for the B.Ph. degree course, the students should obtain 60% marks in the aggregate for subjects other than languages of the first and the second year of the philosophy course. A written dissertation on a philosophical theme directed by one of the teachers of 30 the Faculty should be submitted by the students during the final year of the course. At the end of the Bachelor’s course in Philosophy, there will be comprehensive examinations, both written and oral, in the subjects of Systematic Philosophy. The oral examination is conducted by a panel of examiners. The students must obtain 50% marks for a pass in the comprehensive examinations, both written and oral.

Dissertation for the Degree of Bachelor of Philosophy As per the Statutes of the Pontifical Institute, the candidates for B.Ph. are required to submit a dissertation directed by one of the teachers of the Institute (cf. Art.64.2). In order to fulfill this condition for the conferral of the degree, the final year B.Ph. students are expected to write a scientific paper. Students have two options in this regard:

Option 1: Classical Work Study Paper - The Faculty of Philosophy will publish a list of books written by Western and Indian philosophers. A student is free to choose one of these books for detailed study under the guidence of a director. - The student makes both an in-depth reflective study of the whole book or a certain portion of the book as indicated by one’s director, and a critical analysis of the text in the context of current social situation. The length of the dissertation should be minimum 30 printed pages/50 handwritten pages and maximum 35 printed pages/65 handwritten pages. - The dissertation should have four parts: i) An introductory part, ii) statement of theme of the book under study, iii) contextualized critical evaluation of the work, and iv) bibliography of the works cited. - In the introductory chapter/part one needs to give i) a scheme of one’s paper by way of stating why one has chosen the work one is studying, and how one is going to proceed in the actual 31 process of writing, ii) a biographical sketch of the author of the classical work chosen for study, and, iii) the original context in which the work under study is written, in about 5 printed pages/ 10 handwritten pages (maximum 7 printed pages / 15 handwritten pages) only. - In the second chapter/part, one need to succinctly point out the main points/ theories/concepts in the classical work as a whole (or in selected portion of the work) in about 15 printed pages/ 25 handwritten pages (maximum 17 printed pages/ 30 handwritten pages) only. - In the third chapter/part, basing oneself on the whole book, or of the selected portion, as the case may be, the student has to philosophize in the light of the below-mentioned questions in about 10 printed pages/ 15 handwritten pages (maximum 12 printed pages/ 20 handwritten pages) only. In it, the student simply asks himself/herself the following questions and tries to answer them elaborately and critically: Does this text remind me of any past experience of mine? How do I critcally analyze the text in the present social condition? How can this text be related to formation of my values? Can I take any decisions for the future based on the text?

Option 2: Theme Paper - The director, chosen by the student, provides a list of themes from the thought of Ancient-Medieval-Modern-Contemporary philosophers. - The student chooses one theme from the list, which he/she elaborates with one’s own critique of the same in reference to the present social context in 30-35 printed pages/50-65 handwritten pages. - The dissertation should have four parts: i) An introductory part in which the scheme, a brief introduction to the theme of the paper, and a brief biographical sketch of the main authors 32 consulted, all in about 5-7 printed pages/10-15 handwritten pages, is given. ii) The second part makes a brief exposition of the theme in about 12-15 printed pages/ 25-35 handwritten pages, and iii) In the third part, a critical-creative synthesis of the theme in the present social/literary context is made in about 10-12 printed pages/15-20 handwritten pages. iv) Bibliography of the works cited. Submission of the Work The student submits, with the approval of the director, a proposal of the dissertation, which includes scheme with a brief introduction of the theme chosen in case of the ‘Theme Paper’, or a brief exposition of what is expected in the introductory part in case of ‘Classical work study paper’, and the name of the director, to the PIA Faculty by June 30th. The student has to specify in his propsal, whether he is persuing ‘Classical work study’ or ‘Theme paper’. The student is expected to submit the first part to his/her director by the end of July. The Student submits his unbound second part to his/her director, by 31st August. The final unbound work which includes first, second and third parts, introduction and bibliography, with the approval of the director, is submitted to the PIA faculty, by 30th November. The text corrected by the director is returned to the students by 10th December for necessary changes, if any. The Student submits three copies of his/her final bound work by 20th January. The scientific methodology is to be strictly followed in writing the paper. While laying out the pages the following must be strictly followed: Margins- Standard; Font – Times New Roman; Font size – 12 for the main text, 11 for block quotations, and 10 for footnotes; Line Spacing - 1.5. 33

Evaluation and Grading There will be a second reader for the scientific paper and an oral examination on the scientific paper. In the oral examination held for 10 to 15 minutes on an assigned day latest by 10th February, the student defends publically the content and methodology of his/her paper before the director and the second reader. The proportion of awarding marks will be as follows: Director gives 60% of marks and the second reader gives 20%, and the remaining 20%, given by the director and the second reader, is for the performance in the oral examination. While the director and the second reader assess the dissertation, 40% marks is given for the scientific methodology and 60% for the content.

SYNOPSIS Basic Obligatory Subjects

PB 01 Introduction to Western Philosophy and A Treatise on Nexus between Faith and Reason (2) The Church has always cared deeply about philosophy. Reason is one of the two wings on which man rises towards the contemplation of truth, and philosophical wisdom forms the summit that reason can reach. Church strongly encourages a philosophical formation of reason that is open to faith, while neither confusing nor disconnecting the two. This course introduces to the students some of the basic concepts in philosophy. Topics like what is philosophy, the connection between priestly formation and philosophy, the relationship between faith and reason, the necessity of philosophical training for theological studies, the basic methods used in the various courses of philosophy etc. are covered. Students will understand key issues in philosophizing as used both in the east and the west. Kakkattuthadathil T./Sujan A.

PB 02 Formal Logic (5) This course aims at giving students clear perspectives on the nature of logic by introducing them to the different contemporary scientific methods employed in it. The study of logical terms, classes of propositions, types, rules and fallacies of syllogisms set the minds of the students for correct reasoning and argumentation. The part on induction provides them with fundamentals of scientific inquiry. Lessons on symbolic logic are aimed at giving the students methods and principles enabling them to prove objectively the validity and invalidity of deductive arguments. Komban P./Sujan A.

PB 03 History of Greek Philosophy (4) The history of ancient Western philosophy represents the great attempt made by some of the best minds in the ancient Western world to unravel the mystery of nature. The course proposes to 35 examine their marvellous achievements in this endeavour in their connection and continuity beginning with the Ionian school and going up to the Neo-Platonic philosophy of Plotinus. The main focus of the course is on the brilliant contribution of the three all-time greats in Western philosophy: Socrates, Plato and Aristotle. Mukkamkuzhy K./Kathirparambil K.

PB 04 History of Medieval Western Philosophy (5) “Faith seeking understanding” was the guiding spirit of the medieval history of Western philosophy. The course on medieval Western philosophy begins with a general introduction dealing briefly with the age of transition from the ancient to the medieval period, Christianity and philosophy, patristic speculation and scholasticism. It is followed by a discussion of some of the key figures of medieval philosophy. However, considering the importance of St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas in Christian philosophy and theology greater emphasis is laid on the study of the philosophies of these two outstanding thinkers of the middle ages. Mukkamkuzhy K./ Justin OFMC

PB 05 History of Modern Western Philosophy (5) Inspired by the two historical events of Renaissance and Reformation, modern philosophy abandons the cosmo-centric and theocentric approaches to reality and takes on an anthropocentric perspective. Accordingly human person is the starting point and end of all philosophical research. This course on modern philosophy in its introduction acquaints the students with this change in perspective of the historical development of philosophy in the modern period, and then goes on to examine in some detail the different systems of the classical rationalist and empiricist philosophers as well as the Kantian synthesis of these two opposing schools of thought. Palamoottil S/Sujan A.

PB 06 History of Contemporary Western Philosophy (5) This course studies the major contemporary philosophical trends, situated in their essential connection to the earlier ones and profoundly influencing the intellectual currents and world-views 36 of today the world over, whether in the literary or political circles. The survey begins with the absolute idealism of Hegel. Though Hegelianism does not exist as a separate philosophical school today, almost all philosophical thoughts in the West have come up as a reaction to it. Hence, the ultra-empiricism of the Logical positivism, Linguistic analysis and Pragmatism; the life-affirming thought patterns of the philosophy-of-life – movement; the phenomenological approach to thinking, theistic and atheistic versions of existentialism affirming the existential concerns of the concrete individual over and above the logical rigours of abstract speculation are also studied. More than in any other period of history, philosophy today has come out of the confines of the class rooms and played a major role in the shaping of contemporary thinking and living in all areas. The purpose of the course is to make the students aware of the development and significance of the contemporary Western thought. Mariadas J./Correya B.

PB 07 Cosmology (5) The aim of the course is to give a philosophico-scientific vision of the cosmos. For this purpose, the study is divided into three parts. The first part of the course is centred around the nature, scope and relevance of the science of the cosmos in an age of science and technology. This will be followed by a historico- mythical explanation of the cosmos. In between we will have an occasion for religious visions of the universe. The central point of discussion in the second part of the study is the principles of cosmology. In the third part, the discussion will be centred around the place of human being in the cosmos. Kakkattuthadathil T.

PB 08 Political Philosophy (2) After offering some preliminary notional clarifications, this course proceeds to briefly analyze Greek political thought and medieval political thought. In the second place, social contract theories are examined critically. In the third place, political thoughts of Hegel, Green, Marx, and Gandhi are thoroughly discussed. In addition, utilitarianism is examined critically. The purpose of the course is that students (a) gain a genuine understanding of central debates 37 in political philosophy, (b) promote the philosophical skills of the students through engagement with philosophical debates, arguments, and themes. Kakkattuthadathil T./Sujan A.

PB 09 Introduction to Indian Philosophy (2) The purpose of this introductory course is to present the nature of Indian Philosophy as it manifests itself from its beginning in the Indus region. Having seen the distinct kind of questions Indian philosophers have asked and the way they have approached those questions, students will be able to (a) identify the major paradigms of philosophical thought in Indian traditions, (b) use the scholarly tools available (dictionaries, library resources, data-bases, etc.), and (c) begin to focus on one or another domain of Indian Philosophy. The students will get introductory insights in to the Vedas, Upanishads and Bhagavad-Gita. Komban P./Kallungal M./Alunkal S.

PB 10 Darshanas I (Classical Indian Systems of Thought I) (3) After presenting the common characteristic features of Indian Philosophy and the main charges levelled against it, the religion and philosophy of the Vedas, the Upanishads and the Bhagavad Gita will be discussed. In the second place, the origin and development of Indian philosophical systems will be examined in the course of which students will be alerted about the general classification of Indian philosophy into Nastika and Astika (the heterodox and the orthodox systems). Finally, the heterodox systems (Carvaka, Buddhism and Jainism) will be introduced and assessed. Komban P. / Alumkal S.

PB 11 Darshanas II (Classical Indian Systems of Thought II) (3) This course offers an extensive study of the six orthodox systems namely the Nyaya, the Vaisesika, the Samkhya, the Yoga, the Mimamsa and the Vedanta. Among the several interpretations of the Vedanta, only the three typical ones are considered: AdvaitaVedanta of Sankara, the Visistadvaita Vedanta of Ramanuja and DvaitaVedanta of Madhva. Komban P./Alumkal S. 38 PB 13 Philosophical Methods (2) This course, taught by various staff members who have different specializations, offers an overview of the most salient debates in the field of contemporary philosophy. Topics discussed in recent years include: methods of comparative and intercultural philosophy, the role of philosophy in cultural practices, issues in contemporary phenomenology and epistemology, and relation between faith and reason. The purpose of the course is to make the students familiar with the major strategies of proof and disproof central to philosophical reasoning, and of the fundamental concepts and distinctions employed in current philosophical discourse. Charles L. / Kathirparambil K.

PB 14 Philosophical Hermeneutics (2) This course examines various aspects of the problem of interpretation. Interpretation is a basic human activity. Each and every instance of human understanding is also an instance of interpretation. Texts, for instance, are interpretations offered by their authors, and readers understand texts through the interpretations each reader gives to the text in the course of reading. Some of the basic questions we will pursue in the course are: What exactly are we doing when we are interpreting? Is interpreting as a value judgment? Is it a reflection of the prejudice of the interpreter? Does interpretation in various fields – such as literature, aesthetics, history, philosophy, theology, etc - require a method? The larger portion of the course will be devoted to a critical understanding of the contributions of modern hermeneutical thinkers like Friedrich Daniel Ernst Schleiermacher, Wilhelm Dilthey, Martin Heidegger, Hans- Georg Gadamer and Paul Ricoeur. Kallungal M.

PB 15 Gandhian Thought (2) This course takes a contemporary and critical appraisal of the philosophical approaches of M.K. Gandhi. The two main pillars of his philosophy, namely truth and non-violence are explained in detail. Besides, his economic theory and attitude to 39 development are discussed. The students will be enabled to make a creative and contemporary interpretation of these concepts in the present social and political situation. Biju CST

PB 16 Seminars I & II (5) In seminars, students are expected to read closely and critically one or another chosen philosophical text under the guidance of a teacher. The teacher chooses the texts from a relevant sub- domain of philosophy. The purpose of the seminars is to enable the students to accurately summarize the texts, write a paper in the proper academic style, show the understanding of the text in a class discussion, and finally write and orally present a response to the given research question in the class. Resident Teachers of PIA

PB 17 Metaphysics (6) Both in the East and in the West, the most basic preoccupation in the philosophical circles has been the problem of being. Is there anything existing at all? Is “the existing” one or many? The course on Metaphysics intends to study this question of being “as being.” After indicating the nature and scope of metaphysics, the course will establish transcendental reflection on the sensitive-rational experience as manifested in direct judgment, as our method and starting point. The course immediately embarks on a deeper analysis of the experiencing agent which will reveal that its inner structure contains the metaphysical components of existence and essence, substance and accidents, prime matter and substantial form – all of which can be cohesively understood by the theory of act and potency. Since critical reflection on our experience reveals both the plurality and unity of reality, the course will proceed to establish that the analogous understanding of being is the best suited to signify its real nature. After thus explaining the extension of the notion of being, the course will finally take up their fuller comprehensions, which are the transcendental properties of being. Palamoottil S./Sujan A. 40 PB 18 Epistemology (6) Epistemology attempts to answer one of the basic questions in philosophy: What distinguishes true and adequate knowledge from false and inadequate knowledge? This course in its first part introduces the basic concepts and issues in epistemology such as Knowledge, Sources of Knowledge, Justification, Certainty and Truth. And then in contrast to the rigid programme of traditional epistemology, an attempt will be made to discover the human and social dimension of knowledge, with the help of a critical survey of continental hermeneutic tradition and the findings of sociology of knowledge. The course will be concluded with considering the problem of method in epistemology which will eventually equip the students with the ability to make and assess varied knowledge-claims Kallungal M./Sujan A.

PB 19 Theodicy (6) The most fundamental problem a human being has ever faced is his/her own identity: whence whither and what. In this course the students are, first of all, made aware of the relevance of a philosophy of God in response to the challenge of fideism and Biblicism which are opposed to Theodicy. In the second place, questions concerning God’s relevance to contemporary human beings who want God to be done away with (Feuerbach, Marx, Freud, Sartre, Nietzsche), the basic psychological needs of humans, especially the need for an object of devotion and frame of reference (Erich Fromm), are discussed. In the third place, different attempts to prove God’s existence through various arguments (like the cosmological, ontological, etc.) will be presented. In addition to this, Chardin’s Christo-centric evolution will be put forward as a credible theory to prove God’s existence. In the fourth place, moral arguments along with Augustinian and Kantian thoughts about God’s existence are examined. The uniqueness and relevance of God-experience will also be highlighted. In the fifth place, the essence and attributes of God will be discussed. Notions like creation and providence are analyzed along with the problem of evil. At the end of the course students will gain an insight into the close cooperation between faith and reason in our efforts to deal with the question of God. Kalariparambil T./Prasad OCD 41 PB 20 Philosophical Anthropology (6) The philosophical anthropology attempts to answer the most basic and perennial questions about human persons in light of modern scientific researches and metaphysical principles. The course begins with a historical survey of the various scientific and philosophical views on human persons proposed by thinkers in the past as well as in the present. This is followed by a discussion of the main constituents of the human nature, namely, subjectivity (spirituality) and bodiliness (materiality). The metaphysical and religious aspirations of humans as well as their sociality and inter- subjectivity, are to be traced ultimately to the spiritual component of the human nature. However, a human being in his/her concrete existential situation is not a pure spirit; he/she is only an embodied spirit so much so that the final realization of one’s destiny is inextricably bound up with one’s existence and activity in this world. Hence due attention is given to the material and bodily aspect of the human nature as well. The course arrives at the conclusion that the human being is a complex and mysterious blending of the spiritual and the material, a person who, even as one is very much rooted in this world by virtue of one’s materiality, is nevertheless capable of transcending the limitations of time and space by virtue of one’s spirituality and is naturally destined for immortality. Palamoottil S./Kathirparambil K.

PB 21 Ethics (6) As a prelude to the course on Ethics, the first discussion is centred on the point of relevance of this study in the contemporary period. This is followed by the division of the course into three different parts. The first part includes the study of the origin, nature and scope of the science of ethics. Besides, the discussion will include different foundations, stages in the development of ethics. The second part of the study is centred on the various theories and standards of ethics. Along with the theory of moral development, attention will be given to various religious ethical theories like Judeo-Christian, Hindu and Islamic ethics. Different moral standards like happiness, evolution, perfection, duty and otherness will be discussed in detail. In the final part of the course, 42 specific moral concepts like crime and punishment, rights and duties, virtues and moral progress will be discussed. Special attention will be given to the topics like ethics of non-violence, existential ethics and Marxian ethics. Kakkattuthadathil T.

PB 22 Postmodern Philosophy(2) This course is meant to bring the students of philosophy in touch with the later developments in the history of philosophy and to make them understand the rationale of the cultural changes in the current society. As part of this project, they will be initiated into the thinking of certain prominent authors like Jean-François Lyotard, Jacques Derrida, Michel Foucault, Michel Baudrillard, Richard Rorty and Umberto Eco, and into a few relevant themes like Consumerism, new-gen spirituality and marketing of religion. Kundukulam V./Alphonse P.

PB 23 Philosophy of Religion (2) This course will first discuss the meaning and nature of religion. The distinction between philosophy of religion and religious philosophies will be clarified. A critical assessment of different religions as well as naturalistic theories of the origin and development of religion will be made in the second part. The third part of the course is devoted to bringing out the cognitive components of religious beliefs and varied interpretations offered to them by different religious traditions. The ethical and spiritual directives of a few major religions will be surveyed in the next part. The final part will examine the mutual and joint influence of society and religion in the process of the development of culture. Mukkamkuzhiyil K./Gregory R.B.

PB 24 Modern and Contemporary Indian Philosophy (2) In these courses students will be introduced to recent trends in Indian thinking in general (like mainline neo-advaidic thinking and so on) or some subaltern trends like Dalit and Tribal philosophies. In the course of Dalit philosophy, in the first place, terms like Dalits, their place in the Hindu hierarchy, their origin, outlook on life and world, and the Dalit movement and so on 43 are clarified. Secondly, the sad fact of the marginalization of Dalits and various steps taken to correct it are considered. Finally, the meaning of philosophy of liberation is reconsidered with special reference to Dalits. The course on the philosophy of Sri Narayana Guru aims at presenting the originality and significance of Sri Narayana Guru’s Vedanta philosophy which remains as the foundation for his social involvement and reform activity. What is the version that Sri Narayana gave to Advaita Vedanta? Where does Sri Narayana Guru part with Sri Sankara’s Vedanta? How does he apply it to the socio-religious situation of the country with a view to rooting out caste-system and create an egalitarian society? These questions will be discussed in the light of his written works as well as his committed action for a revolutionary change in the society. Komban S./Correya B.

PB 25 Reading of Western Philosophical Texts (2) The purpose of these courses is to motivate students to read classical texts from the history of philosophy in the West, and to develop their philosophy reading skills. At the end of the course, students are expected to gain the ability to (a) explain the philosophical question the texts are dealing with, (b) give an analysis of the structure of the text, (c) identify the arguments, (d) explain the key concepts used in the text, and finally, (e) show their understanding of the texts in written assignments. The basic texts are: The Confessions, Summa Theologica, Being and Time. Komban S. /Mukkamkuzhiyil K. Kathirparambil K./Purathayil J./Sujan A./ Correya B.

PB 26 Christian Philosophy (2) This course will focus on themes like Christian optimism, Christian personalism, Christian perspectives on the world, and so on. Discussions will develop along some distinctively Christian thinkers, like Augustine, Bonaventure, Aquinas, and so on, whose thought has significant philosophical implications.

PB 30 Existentialist Anthropology (2) This course aims to gather and assess various existentialist approaches to the human condition. The central question that we pursue in the course is: what is a human? In fact, if one honestly poses the question what is a human it will immediately fall back on the questioner who always finds himself/herself deeply 45 involved not only in the verbal act of questioning but also in the more profound act of be-ing. In other words, what am I? is the flipside of the question what is a human? Therefore participants of this course are called upon to make an engaged reading of existentialist thinkers. The course will offer an introduction to the major themes in the existentialist reflections of Søren Aabye Kierkegaard, Gabriel Honoré Marcel, Martin Buber, Jean-Paul Charles Aymard Sartre, Albert Camus, Simone de Beauvoir, Edith Stein, Pierre Teilhard de Chardin, and Emmanuel Levinas.

Perincherry P. 51 PO 73 Cult, Culture and Anthropology (2) God is the Supreme Being, the creator, to whom we owe a debt of homage, praise, adoration and thanksgiving. Since, as in the phrase of Aristotle, ‘man is a social animal’, he does this and needs to do this communally and in accordance with his culture; hence the need of public worship. One of the findings of the studies of anthropologists on this subject, using the methods of phenomenology is that worship is seen to have a value and significance of its own that cannot be explained or explained away as superstition, magic or the expression of fear. Christian worship is best expressed in terms of ‘response’ because it is God who takes the initiative. In worship we respond to the call of the Triune God and this is true of the whole Christian liturgy, whether it be praise, thanksgiving, supplication or repentance; whether it be Eucharist, baptism, liturgy of the hours or the celebration of the Church’s liturgical year. The present course aims at furnishing a philosophical basis of worship and making a detailed study on the different rites that constitute Christian liturgy. Nellickakandathil J.

A preliminary consideration consists of the study on the authorship, date and place of writing, purpose and the main characteristics of the Gospel of Matthew and of the community to which the evangelist wrote this Gospel. This will be followed by a study of the structure and main theological concerns of the Gospel of Matthew. Texts like the infancy narrative, baptism and temptation of Jesus, Sermon on the Mount, missionary discourse, parables and miracles in Matthew, the account of Last Supper, the account of passion, death and resurrection of Jesus are studied in detail especially from the point of view of its impact as a life transforming experience. Achandy J./Puthenpurackal C. BT 10. Luke - Acts(3) The course aims at studying the Gospel of Luke from different angles. Our study starts with an enquiry about the author, date and place of writing, the main characteristics of the Gospel and the community to which this Gospel is written, followed by a discussion on the structure and main theological concerns of the Gospel. Then a close reading of Gospel is done with special attention to the infancy narrative, ministry in Galilee, journey to Jerusalem, parables in Luke and the account of passion, death, resurrection and the command of Jesus for a universal mission. 66 The interpretation of the texts is done with special attention to their practical implications in the society today.

A first reading of the Gospel will include introductory questions, such as the literary character, the authorship, the religious and the socio-cultural background of the Gospel, and the Johannine community in which the Gospel took shape. A second reading will involve an exegetical analysis of the Gospel, especially the Prologue, the dialogues, the discourses and the semeia of the book of Signs, and the farewell talks and the passion narrative of the book of Glory. Such a reading coupled with hermeneutical reflection will try to elicit the theology of the Fourth Gospel. Chanikuzhy J./ Mulloor A. BT 12.

Maleparambil J./Nalpathilchira J./Prasad J. BT 13. Captivity Letters (2) The “Captivity Letters of Paul,” viz., the letters of Philippians, Philemon, Colossians and Ephesians, are named thus because Paul’s imprisonment is mentioned in them. Philippians and Philemon undoubtedly come from Paul’s own hand. The authenticity of Colossians and Ephesians is, however disputed. After treating such introductory questions the course will take into account the vision of Christ, of his Body the Church, of the mystery of God hidden for ages and now revealed, and of the consequent way of life to be led by Christians.

KundukulamV. MORAL THEOLOGY (MT)

MT 1. Fundamental Moral Theology (4) It mainly deals with the methods of moral analysis i.e. how to arrive at correct moral decisions. Analyzing different moral methodologies we give primary importance to the personalist moral methodology developed by Catholic moral theologians receiving inspiration from the proposals of Vatican II. We make an effort to give adequate importance also to the social structural dimension of morality and the reality of sin. It is in this context we think about giving an adequate importance to the formation of a Christian conscience which takes in to consideration both personal and social dimension of conscience. Finally the question of distictiveness or uniquness of Catholic moral theology also will be discussed. Chenattu A./Arakkal J. MT 2. Bio-Ethics (3) This is a course which points to the moral obligation of protecting and promoting human life. The principle of inviolability of human 74 life demands sufficient health care facilities and provisions for a decent human life. Human life has also to be protected from different threats to which it is constantly exposed especially in its beginning and end, namely indiscriminate experimentation on human life, organ trade in the pretext of organ transplantation, genetic engineering, abortion, life-prolonging treatment, euthanasia, suicide etc. As a part of this course we also critically analyze certain topics which are traditionally considered as exception to the principle of inviolability of human life, namely self defense, self immolation, violent revolution, capital punishment, just war, etc. Chennattu A/Arackal J. MT 3. Social Ethics (3) While the victims of injustice and inhumanities are increasing in the world, a Christian must be able to react against them at the light of the radical Gospel message of Justice. This course is a humble endeavor to analyze the notion of justice and the virtues connected with it. Justice speaks about the fundamental rights of man: the right to life, right to property, right to one’s honor, etc. A picture of the violation of these fundamental rights will shed light on the inhuman realities that threaten the dignity and honor of human life. Reparations of injuries and contracts are discussed, for they speak out the various forms of injustice and violations. Globalization and doing Christian social ethics with the downtrodden are also evaluated in this class. Illathuparampil M./Arakkal J. MT 4. Sexual Morality and Marriage (3) This course is meant to impart a correct perspective on sexuality and marriage so that ethical issues emerging from these areas can be correctly assessed from a moral point of view. Due to certain historical influences a one-sided and distorted vision on sexuality and marriage is developed in the Catholic tradition giving undue importance to the procreative purpose of sexuality. But the scriptural sources and the authentic tradition of the Church and lately the teaching of Vatican II point to a more balanced vision on sexuality and marriage. It is from this perspective different ethical issues connected with human sexuality are analyzed. This 75 course also will deal with the sacramentality of Christian marriage, the moral issues connected with responsible parenthood and artificial reproductive technologies. Chenattu A./Julian Baiju MT 5. Special Questions in Moral Theology (2) This meant to address certain moral issues of contemporary interest and relevance.

OPTIONAL SUBJECTS (OS) OS 1. Theology of Inculturation (2) Inculturation, a new term used in theology, refers to the central dynamic principle governing the Christian missionary outreach to peoples not yet evangelized, or among whom the Church is not yet rooted firmly and indigenously. More commonly, this is known as catholicity, accommodation, adaptation, indigenization and contextualization; more radically it is incarnation. The missionaries of today have to inculture life and rites of the people, so that the Word of God is heard and made fruitful. In short, it is an ongoing dialogue between Gospel and culture. Through inculturation there must be a transformation of religion and one’s own belief system. Valungal A. OS 2.

It is an attempt to find out the ways and means of mutual penetration of various functions of laity, religious and priests towards the building of the Kingdom. The different states of life in the church make her the real body of Christ. Valungal A.

OS 5.Parables of Jesus (2) The parables of Jesus are powerful and dramatic expressions of his teaching. However, the parables belong to the most difficult texts in the New Testament: they are simple at the surface level, but it is very difficult to reach fully their depth. Jesus’ parables have been abused and forced to serve various purposes – from ancient theological purposes to modern ideological and pastoral ones. This course will explore selected parables in the Synoptic Gospels. Making use of the conventional tools of redaction criticism, attempt will be made to delineate the traditional material incorporated in the parables. The course also examines the parables making use of the synchronic reading of the text. Nalpathilchira J.

OS 6. The Missionary Speeches of St. Paul in the Book of Acts and their pastoral implications for a New Evangelisation Today Church has the eternal Jesus-given duty to be missionary in this world. How to fulfil this task in the ever changing context of the world and of the Church? The Book of Acts in the NT recounts the story of the mission of the early Church under the guidance of the Holy Spirit. It exposes how the early Church fulfilled the 85 missionary command of Jesus in different contexts, among different people, through different apostles and disciples in different ways. It has inspired the Church in the past and inspires still the modern Church. In this course, we try to discover and understand these various aspects of the mission, especially the missionary sermons in Acts in order to collect insights for Church’s mission whether it is evangelization, re-evangelization or new evangelization as well as the continued pastoral mission of the communities in a world of all kinds of pluralisms, of media-explosion and ever growing Godlessness. Achandy J. OS 7. The Mystery of Human Suffering Suffering exists and it is a daily reality. It is an experience, a scandal, a problem and a mystery. It is very difficult to find the meaning of this mystery. This course introduces the different aspects and forms of suffering. The answers proposed by different religious traditions will also be discussed. The mystery of suffering will be explained in the light of the divine revelation in Jesus Christ. Panjikaran S.

Biblical interpretation down through the Centuries Due to the concrete socio-cultural contexts, the Word of God has been approached and studied with different methods and pre- suppositions down through the centuries. There is a sharp division between the pre-critical and critical periods in the interpretation of sacred scripture. This course makes an in-depth study of these approaches with special emphasis on the Catholic principles of interpretation. Thondiparambil J. Church as the Mystery of Communion In light of modern scepticism on communion ecclesiology, this course seeks to provide a theological justification of koinonia as a most appropriate term for understanding the nature and function of the church. After providing a theological and biblical meaning of koinonia, the course examines the extent to which ekklesia and koinonia are connected, in this way, affirming the term’s suitability for ecclesiology. The course then aims at further consolidating its case by analyzing how the New Testament church lived out this fellowship with God and one another. Accordingly, communion ecclesiology is shown to be a highly significant way of approaching the church; indeed one with existential and salvific ramifications.

Catholic Theology of Religion This course deals with the question of Uniqueness of Christ and Unicity of Church in the context of religious pluralism. The studies made by Ernst Troeltsch, Arnold Toynbee, Karl Gustav Yung and others show that religious pluralism is a positive value of the contemporary culture. We have both exclusive and inclusive attitudes in the Bible and they are interpreted in terms of Jesus’ open attitude towards other believers. The course will also evaluate the various trends - Ecclesiocentrism, Christocentrism, 97 Theocentrism, Soteriocentrism – in the light of the Church documents from Second Vatican Council to Dominus Iesus. Kundukulam V.

Sermon on the Mountain The Gospel of Matthew demonstrates a particular interest in the teachings of Jesus, which the author presents in Five Major Discourses. The first discourse, the Sermon on the Mountain, which is the longest Discourse, is programmatic in its nature. This course ventures to explore this discourse in detail, with a special focus on the theme of discipleship in Matthew and its relevance in the context of present day India. Nalpathilchira J.

Mission in the Synoptic Gospels The theme of mission is fundamental to the NT. This course undertakes a detailed study of selected passages from the Synoptic Gospels dealing with the theme of mission. Special attention is given to the universal mission-commissioning in Matt 28,16-20, with a special focus on the Indian context Nalpathilchira J.

Postmodernity and Christianity The purpose of this course is to understand properly the phenomenon of postmodernity, realize about its impact on religion and find out responses that help Church to translate faith meaningfully to the present era. To arrive at this objective, the course will deal with the thoughts of Jean-François Lyotard, Jacques Derrida, Michael Baudrillard, Richard Rorty and Umberto Eco, describe the salient features of postmodern age, and examine the metamorphosis that takes place in the field of Christian faith. With reference to the writings of Lieven Boevet, John D. Caputo, James K.A. Smith, Van Erp Stephan and Denis Villepelet attempts will be made to discover efficient means of responding to the above-said challenges. Kundukulam V. 98 Christology in the Asian Context Christology is always an interpretation of the significance of Jesus Christ for the Christian community in particular time and place. The context of the people has an important role to determine the way Christology is articulated. “Who do you say that I am?” Each generation must answer this question in their own time. The emergence of contextual theology has brought with it an awakening of contextual Christologies. External and internal factors have necessitated the development of contextual Christology. Thus we have Latin American Christology, African Christology, Asian Christology, etc. This course discusses the main trends in Asian Christology, such as Tribal Christology, Asian Feminist Christology, Islamic Christology, Minjung Christology, Dalit Christology, etc. It also aims at finding the scope for dialogue with non-Christian religious traditions, culture and ideologies. Panjikaran S.

Contemporary Issues in Sacramental Theology This course offers a brief look at a number of contemporary issues in Sacramental theology. The call in the Vatican II documents for the revision of all the formal sacraments of the Church was a great blessing, but a decade later, after each of the sacraments had in fact been revised, it became abundantly clear to many that a great number of issues still remained to be resolved. Among the contemporary issues in Sacramental theology, there are really two major ones that overpower and affect all others. The first is that the medieval theology of clerical power, which has served us so well for centuries, had been fading out for some decades now. But while this theology is fading out, an equally well-thought-out system is not yet present to take its place. The second major issue, indeed the central one for most Christians, is what the revised sacraments actually mean for believers today. The question became how to bridge the gap between an official Catholic understanding of the sacraments, which is still tied to the medieval Thomistic synthesis, as can be 99 seen in much of the Catechism of the Catholic Church, and the meaning that each of the sacraments has today for the individual Christian. The problem is not only that a paradigm shift has been taking place in Catholic theology, but also that a shift is taking place in the consciousness of the Catholic people. Pulickal S.

The Christian Missionary Speeches in Acts Aim of this course is to rediscover the contextualization method of the Good News in the early church. Book of Acts, as the only work of the early church history in the NT, reports some missionary speeches by the dominant apostles Peter and Paul in different religious, geographical and cultural contexts of their time, proclaiming Jesus Christ as the unique Saviour of mankind. A study of these speeches, analyzing their respective authors, audiences, contexts and the contents, and highlighting the method 101 applied for an effective communication, will enlighten any modern missionary or pastor in communicating the same Good News not only in the religious pluralistic context of India but also in this large globalised but multi-pluralistic world. This course requires an active individual involvement of the participants. Achandy J.

The Question of Johannine Anti-Judaism The position that the Fourth Gospel is anti-Judaic is thoroughly argued and vehemently refuted in the scholarly circles. The all pervasive dualism in the Fourth Gospel, its penchant statements (Eg: “You are the sons of the devil” [Jn 8,34]), the unique Johannine use of the term hoi Ioudaioi, Jesus’ extensive discourses with the Jews etc., seemingly widen the distance between the Jews and the believers of Jesus. This course envisages to familiarize the students with the issues involved in the so-called “Johannine Anti-Judaism” and with various positions taken by different scholars in this regard. The goal of the course is to help the students to approach, understand and interpret the Fourth Gospel honestly and with historical and social sensitivity. Chanikuzhy J.

The Prophetic concern for Social Justice Are the prophets reformers or revolutionaries? This question is studied with special attention to Amos, the first of the canonical prophets, who is also known as the prophet of social justice. This theme has special significance for developing nations. Thondiparambil J.

The Development of Christian Theology Christian theological reflection has been growing in its meeting with the various cultures and challenges. The historical character of the theological understanding of the mysteries of faith is also a help in the ecumenical discussions today. The course lays stress on the historical background of the development of doctrines. It brings out at the same time the on-going dialogue between faith and culture. Thondiparambil J. 102 Social Themes in Luke Acts St. Luke, in his two-volume work, presents the “Jesus-event” and its significance taking into account the social situation of his readers. This is evident from his emphasis on certain social themes like ‘concern for the poor’, ‘universalism’ and ‘equality of man and woman’, In the course we discuss the social concern of Luke as presented in Luke-Acts. The purpose of the course is to create an awareness regarding the responsibility of individual Christians and Christian communities to involve actively in the struggle for the creation of a just society. Thayyil P.

Hindu-Christian Hermeneutics The aim of the course is to familiarize the students with the complexities involved in an effort to understand Hindu religious reality and Hindu-Christian engagements. Since understanding occurs only through interpretation, the first objective of the course is to identify a relatively adequate hermeneutical approach towards religiosity as well as inter-religiosity. After the preliminary hermeneutical investigations, this course will offer a succinct understanding of Hinduism. This part of the course will make the students (i) aware of the definitional problems surrounding Hinduism, (ii) familiar with the complexity of and the internal diversity in the Hindu religious reality (iii) understand and explain the Hindu religious and philosophical literature, especially some key notions and issues like dharma, varna, sphota, samskara, Brahman-Atman identity, etc., and (iv) have an overview of the Hindu religious world in India and abroad with special reference to its origin and development. The second part of the course will address the question of Hindu-Christian engagements where the students will gain awareness into the problems and possibilities of interactions between Hinduism and Christianity. The first part of the course will cover: Indus Valley Civilization and a brief history of Hinduism, Vedic Religion and Hindu cosmology, Dharma and Hindu social organization, Hindu Rites of Passage (Samskâra), Hindu theory of language - Hindu 103 philosophical systems, Hindu epics - Hindu devotionalism, Hindu deities, art, and worship rituals, and Vedanta and Hindu reformation. The second part of the course will focus on the question of Hindu-Christian dialogue and the specific case of the dialogue between Catholicism and Hinduism. Kallungal M.

Fetish-objects and Sacramental Presences within a Catholic- Indian Context The purpose of this seminar is to bring two particular perspectives on ‘divine’ material objects—the anthropological and the Catholic theological—into dialogue with one another in order to explore both the resonances and dissonances that exist between them. Taking as a starting point the general overlap between ‘fetish objects’ and sacraments, this seminar will explore what defines each ‘object’ and how the presence of the ‘divine’ could be said to reside within them. In detail, the seminar will focus on two significant texts to note, among others we will study: firstly, William Pietz’s series of articles on the history of the fetish object, and, secondly, Caroline Walker Bynum’s book Christian Materiality, which focuses on the history of medieval Catholic sacramental practices and perceptions. By putting these two points of view in dialogue with each other (along with some additional sources noted below), students will be encouraged to reflect upon how the social, political, economic and religious forces of (post)colonialism continue to have an impact upon how fetish- objects, sacraments, ‘idolatry’ and ‘iconography’ are all understood within a contemporary Indian-Catholic context. Colby Dickinson

Parables of Jesus Jesus’ parables are among the best known and most influential stories in the world. Parables were the means Jesus used most frequently to explain the kingdom of God and to show the character of God and the expectations that God has for human beings. That message has often been subverted. Jesus’ parables 104 have been abused and forced to serve various purposes – from ancient theological purposes to modern ideological and pastoral ones. This course will explore selected parables in the Synoptic Gospels. Making use of the conventional tools of redaction criticism, attempts will be made to delineate the traditional material incorporated in the parables. The course also examines the parables making use of the synchronic reading of the text. Nalpathilchira J.

Moses’ First Address (Deut 1–4) The first four chapters of the Book of Deuteronomy narrate Moses’ talk at the eastern bank of Jordan which, according to the organization of the book, Moses delivered the morning of the very day of his death. This course undertakes an exegetical investigation of these four chapters of Deuteronomy. Due attention is given to the meaning and syntax of the text. Important theological themes that are present in these introductory chapters will be highlighted, keeping in mind their relevance in modern times. Nalpathilchira J.

The First Letter to Timothy The First Letter to Timothy is the longest and most detailed of the so-called ‘Pastoral Letters’ attributed to St. Paul. It is a perfect example of ‘inculturation’. The original Christian message, going back to Jesus’ preaching and the preaching about Jesus in Palestine, and transformed for the first time in the proclamation of St. Paul, makes a further step towards the Hellenistic world. This course intends to explore the letter exegetically and tries to understand how the paradigm of inculturation outlined in the letter can serve as a model for evangelization and inculturation in the multi-cultural, religious, ethnic scenario of India. Nalpathilchira J. 105 Doctorate in Theology
