| Course description | This course will present two distinct strands of thought in continental philosophy. The first term will begin with Kant and Hegel. We will consider how their ideas were to be challenged and developed by Feuerbach; Marx; Schopenhauer and Nietzsche. The second part of the course will be concerned with phenomenology and its relation to the analytic tradition. Brentano, Husserl, Heidegger, Sartre and Merleau-Ponty will be compared with Frege and Wittgenstein. |
