PHIL 000/3200 - Philosophy of History (3 cr.)
Description
Philosophies of History offer a broad range of reflections on the historic dimension of our existence, i.e. on the fact that we understand ourselves in a temporal horizon of being-with-others. These reflections might prompt us to reflect on the genesis of notions such as ‘universal history’ or ‘progress’, or they might aim at clarifying what we mean when we ascribe causality to individuals, groups or any other kind of ‘historical force’. Finally, we might even feel the need to analyze and evaluate which ways of conceiving of a maximal horizon of action are rationally justifiable in the situation we find ourselves in.
