TOPICS COURSE DESCRIPTION:
PH 329 - Seminar in Kant
Immanuel Kant, considered by many to be among the 4-5 most important figures in the
history of Western philosophy, represents the transition from early modern philosophy
to 19th and 20th century philosophy. The primary goal of this course is to help students
understand the 'inner workings' of Kant as well as his importance for philosophy.
Kant wrote a series of major works covering the theory of knowledge, morality and
aesthetics respectively, and in each of them the "transcendental standpoint," which
is Kant's paradigm-changing contribution to philosophy, is the core idea. This seminar
will focus on Kant's initial presentation of transcendental philosophy in his theory
of knowledge, but we will also look more briefly at his practical philosophy as well
as his philosophy of art. Emphasis will be on a collaborative approach to the material
in which student writing and discussion will be primary."
SSP 100 - First Year Scribner Seminar
Prof. W. Lewis
Political Economy is the relationship between political, cultural, and economic institutions
and processes. One reality of political economy is that she has always had her poor,
her masses, her multitudes. In addition to listening to the poor represent their own
experience, this course will use the tools of the social sciences, philosophy, and
literature to understand why the poor are perennial.
In addition to being an interdisciplinary inquiry into political economy, this is a course about knowing, particularly about ways to identify problems, formulate productive questions, and go about answering those questions.
** This course does not count towards the philosophy major/minor.
