PHI 146 - Modernity and Post-Modernity

Semester Hours: 3
Periodically
Since the early 20th century, philosophers and other thinkers have argued that modernity has come to an end and that we now live under conditions of post-modernity. This course is an investigation of what this means and involves studying leading modern philosophers such as Descartes and Kant as well as more recent thinkers such as Heidegger, Derrida, Irigaray and Lyotard. Because post-modernity challenges disciplinary boundaries, the course also involves studying examples of modern and post-modern architecture, art and/or literature.

Prerequisite(s)/Course Notes:
PHI 10 or permission of the instructor. PHI 143 recommended.
