PHIL 315/3011 - Nineteenth Century Philosophy (3 cr.)
Prerequisites
Two philosophy courses or consent of instructor.
Description
This course examines how nineteenth century philosophers reacted to the Enlightenment’s faith in reason: Whereas earlier nineteenth century thinkers believed that all aspects of reality and human experience could be explicated with a rationalistic ‘system’, this faith in reason became increasingly undermined by the belief that a more adequate insight is provided by non-rational ‘feeling’ and/or aesthetic experience. The course will also explore the ‘historical turn’ in nineteenth century philosophy. Figures discussed might include: Reinhold, Fichte, Schelling, Hegel, Schopenhauer, Comte, Feuerbach, Mill, Kierkegaard, Marx, Nietzsche, and Bergson.
When Offered
