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.
