Twentieth Century Theoretical Philosophy (2023/2024: Semester 2 – Spring)
Cursusdoel
The course is designed to allow the students to come to an independent, critical but well informed understanding of original philosophical texts. The larger theoretical goal is to dispense with a mostly political division between continental and analytic philosophy, which has contributed little to the advancement of contemporary philosophy. This course also aims at expanding the students’ reading in order to prepare them for further study at in senior seminars and at the postgraduate level.

Vakinhoudelijk
This course investigates, from a 20th and 21st Century perspective, themes that have occupied philosophical thought over the past 2500 years. There are many different styles of philosophy; in this course we stress the unity within philosophical inquiry, ignoring artificial divisions. 20th Century philosophy has often been divided into the so-called Analytic and Continental traditions. The purpose of this course is to focus on the problems shared by these seemingly opposed schools in such areas as philosophy of mind, language, epistemology, metaphysics and philosophy of action. All of the philosophers studied in this course have made great contributions to our understanding of the world and our place in it. Quine, Heidegger, Davidson, Deleuze, Gadamer, Foucault, Rorty, Ayer, and Frege are among the authors who make up the readings. Through close analysis of their contributions the students are encouraged to deepen their familiarity and understanding of the philosophical landscape.
Guided readings from selected authors’ landmark works are used in order to illuminate the fundamental questions; in-class discussions are centred on the various perspectives offered in the course material in order to generate lively debate. One of the primary objectives of the course is to awaken the sense of the importance of philosophical discourse.
