| Main themes |
The aim of the course is to introduce the student to: metaphysical reasoning, its history and key moments, its self-conception, its methods, the questions it poses and the problems it raises.
|
| Aims |
By the end of this course, the student should be able to address in a critical manner, i.e., one that is personal, informed, and well-argued, the central metaphysical questions concerning existence, being, the absolute, etc., while also showing the legitimacy and pertinence these questions have for the world and people of today. To this end, the student should be up to mastering the conceptual and historical reference points necessary to weigh the metaphysical stakes inherent to all philosophical questions. In a similar vein, the student should also be able to put these reference points to work in a coherent and well thought-out manner when fulfilling the various tasks that will be asked of him/her during the course.
