PHI 146 - Modernity and Post-Modernity
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.
