Main themes The course offers a general overview of post-Hegelian philosophy, paying particular attention to metaphysics, ethics, and anthropology. It provides a general survey of post-Kantianism; of phenomenology (from Husserl to Merleau-Ponty by way of Heidegger); of critical theory (from the Frankfurt School to Habermas); from Nietzsche to (up to) post-modernism. The particular focus of the course changes from year to year. The course is based on lectures and on discussions.
Aims By the end of the course, the student should be able to give an account of the key moments of Contemporary philosophy both in its metaphysical and moral dimensions-these complement the linguistic and logical dimensions studied in the first part of the course.
Evaluation methods

Assessment is on the course and takes the form of an oral examination during which students are invited to comment on a passage from the set texts after written preparation lasting a quarter of an hour.
