Cursusdoel

In the Core Seminar 1, the development of professional skills focuses on paper writing, literature research, presentation skills, and giving and responding to feedback.

The aims of the Core Seminar 1 are as follows:
  1. to acquire an advanced understanding of the philosophical topic chosen for the semester, with special emphasis on integrating distinct philosophical perspectives;
  2. to improve one’s skills in writing a philosophical paper, including the stages of research and revision;
  3. to improve one’s skills in presenting research results in a symposium setting and responding to questions from the audience;
  4. to draw on what has been learned in the course in engaging with current philosophical research projects;
  5. to reflect on and improve one’s participation in seminar discussions, in providing feedback on the work of other students, and in presenting course readings to the class in a way that deepens other students understanding of the texts and generates a good seminar discussion.

Vakinhoudelijk

The Core Seminars are semester-long courses that combine an in-depth investigation of a philosophical topic with training in key skills and interaction with researchers from ongoing research projects. Staff from two different areas of philosophy co-teach the seminar on a topic that draws on their overlapping research interests, but from distinct approaches. At various points in the semester, researchers form the department will present ongoing research and engage with students on connection with the seminar’s theme.

The topic for 2024-2025 will be announced at a later stage.

In 2023-2024, the course engaged with contemporary work in both theoretical and practical philosophy surrounding a shared (albeit very broad) theme: the thinking, feeling, and active mind. We approached this broad theme from four different yet interconnected angles: 1) the active mind, 2) mind and normativity, 3) the mind’s place in nature and 4) ethics of mind.
