Course Title:
The Promise of German Philosophy: Kant to Hegel
Course Number:
FU-BEST 9A
Course Description:
Offered during the Fall semester, we follow the emergence and full deployment of German philosophy from its Kantian beginnings to Hegel's grand but fragile synthesis, trying to understand its richness as well as its limitations.
The course will be based upon contemporary attempts at rethinking a global philosophical perspective - by focusing on the tension between the Enlightenment heritage of a universalizing human philosophy and a national culture project, as well as on the tension between classicist rationalism and romantic emotionalism in its construction as a series of philosophical projects. From the perspective of a German version of the dialectics of the Enlightenment, the German philosophers of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries will be studied in context - combining the reading of key texts with a reconstruction of their historical contexts and their interaction
