PHI 166 - Contemporary Social and Political PhilosophySemester Hours: 3
Periodically
Concepts of the autonomous self and agency (developed during the modern period,
Descartes-Kant), have been central to modern, liberal social and political philosophy.
This course examines the critiques of those concepts and explores changing conceptions
of community, civil society, and selfhood offered by feminist and postmodern philosophers.
These issues have immediate interdisciplinary relevance for legal, political and
psychological inquiries. Some attention is given to contemporary social problems,
such as race and gender. Readings from contemporary philosophy (e.g., Foucault
and critical theory) and some interdisciplinary sources.
