PHL 433 - Kant and Arendt (4 Cr.)

(Formerly PHL 333)
An intensive examination of the works of Immanuel Kant, as well as an introduction to the ideas and themes characteristic of the critical tradition he inaugurated. The course will devote considerable time to a careful reading of the standard translations of Kant’s most important works. The course will also examine the twentieth century writings of Hannah Arendt who expands on Kant’s ideas and gives them a profoundly contemporary relevance. Prerequisite: Either two philosophy courses (one at the 300-level), or permission of the instructor.
