Minor in German Philosophy - Modern German Philosophy II GERM 2652   Modern German Philosophy II
CREDIT HOURS: 3
This course looks at the history of German philosophy from German Idealism until today. In particular, the focus will be on the radical philosophical movements of the 19th and 20th centuries. 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). The focus will be on how critiques of the free autonomous individual—constructed in the context of German Idealism—effect the political institutions of the 19th and 20th centuries.
