PHL 157 - Individual, Community, Cosmos (4 Cr.) (LER-TXT)
Introduction to philosophical questioning and thinking through the study of four moments in the history of philosophy when individual thinkers had a new vision of our relationship to each other in the community and a new understanding of reality. The readings will be Plato’s Dialogues on Socrates’ relation to Athens, Descartes’ Meditations in light of the Galileo Controversy, Hume’s Enquiry Concerning Human Understanding for the shift away from a religion centered worldview, Nietzsche’s Twilight of the Idols for a further shift away from the tradition, and Sartre’s Existentialism is a Humanism. Each of these thinkers began a process of thinking that changed the way individuals seem themselves in relationship to each other in the community and the nature and composition of Reality/Cosmos/Being. Spring semester. Rose.
