This course examines the major thinkers and analytic paradigms of the nineteenth century. It studies exemplary works of fiction, exploring the relationship between literature, philosophy, and social theory. A major theme is the cultural and political impact of the perceiveddecline, absence, or death of God, and the ways that ideology,history, science, and art came to occupy the space “vacated” byreligion. We will read texts by or about the Romantics, Kant, Hegel, Marx, Mill, Kierkegaard, Flaubert, Dostoevsky, George Eliot, and Nietzsche, among others.
