PHIL 250 - Twentieth-Century Continental Philosophy

3 HU, WR
First Semester. Many of the major figures of 20th-century continental philosophy claimed to produce intellectual revolutions that would affect all areas of human life. Their departures from traditional categories have made their works both enticing and difficult to understand. This course will examine the major ideas of the most influential figures of 20th-century continental philosophy: Heidegger, Sartre, Foucault, and Habermas, with some consideration of those of Husserl and Derrida.
