Freinds, help me out.
I'm starting my journey to get an Mdiv at St Vladimir’s Seminary, an Eastern Orthodox Christian college.
I want a PHD in philosophy for an academic job in philosophy of religion or theology.
I'd like to put French phenomenology, semiotics, and Nietzsche in theological dialouge.
Basically philosophy of religion type stuff.
I know, MDiv is more pastoral, but it's the only program that'd take me having no bachlears.
Do you think I'd have to get a masters in philosophy first before applying for a philosophy PHD program ?
Or, could I go for a religious studies PHD ?
I hesitate as I'm told most academic jobs wish to see proof that you can do real philosophy, even if your interest is religion.
