HC 853 - Modernity and Its Discontents: 19th Century European Intellectual History, 1750-19003 credits
An examination of the foundational texts of modern thought from the Enlightenment to Nietzsche. In this seminar we will study works of philosophy, political theory, and literature by Rousseau, Kant, Marx, Durkheim, Kierkegaard, Nietzsche and Thomas Mann amongst others, and examine how the enlightenment project was transformed during the tumultuous years of the Nineteenth Century. We will play particular attention to debates that surrounded the French Revolution, consider the development of German philosophy from Kant to Marx, and analyze how late 19th-century thinkers wrestled with the Enlightenment tradition.
