201 — Global Philosophy: Why Evil & Suffering?
Given the enormity of evil & suffering, can the world make sense? To Abrahamic religions, with an all-powerful, all-good God, evil & suffering are problems to solve. To Eastern religions, evil & suffering are keys to human fulfillment and all reality.

202 — Global Philosophy: Life After Death?
What kinds of afterlives do the world’s religions offer? Soul/spirit in heaven or hell, with or apart from God? Reincarnation with innumerable rebirths, seeking liberation and nirvana? Resurrection of the body, reuniting with a soul/spirit?

203 — Global Philosophy: Do Science & Religion Conflict?
Science and religion: clash or consilience? Science commands broad consensus, which religion cannot. Religion claims ultimate insight, which science cannot. Should the conflict be taken seriously?

204 — Global Philosophy: What is Essence & Existence?
Can non-Western traditions discern new perspectives of fundamental reality, the deepest levels or categories of being? Can novel ways of seeing the world’s foundations and joints give ultimate insight into meaning and purpose?

205 — Global Philosophy: What is the World to Come?
Every religion deals with ultimate futures. What happens to the person? Reincarnation? Reabsorption? Resurrection? What is the final state of the world? Innumerable cycles? A new heaven and a new earth?
