PHL 720 Philosophical Texts from Modern and Contemporary Philosophy
3 One studies closely some classic texts of modern or contemporary philosophy, such as Descartes' Meditations, Kant's Critiques, the works of Nietzsche, Husserl's Logical Investigations, Sartre's Being and Nothingness, Scheler's Formalism in Ethics, Wittgenstein's Tractatus, Maritain's Degrees of Knowing, or Longergan's Insight. The intent is to appropriate critically the philosophical tradition in which we stand. This course can be taken more than once since its content will vary from semester to semester.
