Minor in German Philosophy - Modern German Philosophy I
GERM 2651 Modern German Philosophy I
CREDIT HOURS: 3
This course looks at the history of German philosophy from the Enlightenment to the End of German Idealism. Part one examines the early history of German philosophy, focusing on German Idealism. Students will gain a broad overview of German intellectual history through focused readings of key texts. The goal is to understand how the ideas formed in this tradition contribute to both the core philosophic disciplines (such as metaphysics, epistemology and moral philosophy) as well as other fields (like history, aesthetics, psychology, and political thought). Our focus will be on the construction of the free autonomous subject—the basis for our understanding of democratic institutions.
