PHIL 205 - Nineteenth Century Philosophy

Semester Offered: Spring

After a brief overview of Kant’s “critical revolution” and its immediate aftermath, we will study the thought of four major European thinkers: Hegel, Marx, Schopenhauer, and Nietzsche. Themes will include the sense of alienation felt in the wake of the Enlightenment; the critique of modern morality; philosophical pessimism; and the hope that art can fill the spiritual void left by the collapse of the Christian worldview. Mr. Raymond.

Prerequisite: one 100-level course in Philosophy or permission of the instructor.

Two 75-minute periods.
