Ever wondered about all those –Isms and –Ists that the theorists are always theorizing about? About rationalism? Idealism? Modernism?
About empiricists? Phenomenologists? Or God-fearing fideists?
Did you know that there exists a crazy breed—the Anti-ism-ist—otherwise known as the post-colonial, post-modernist?
Okay, enough of Dr. Seuss.
If you answer Yes to any of the above, PHIL 202 History of Philosophy II might just be for you. We are studying Descartes (the granddaddy of rationalism), Kant (idealism),and Hegel (modernism), or Hume the empiricist, Heidegger the phenomenologist or Kierkegaard the so-called fideist. We also help you better understand the raucous contemporary world, including post-colonial theorists such as Fanon or postmodern ones like Derrida and Foucault.
With a mix of lecture and seminar-style pedagogies, this course is accessible to any student with at least one prior course in philosophy (or with the commitment to working hard!).
It is not too late to add. Contact Prof. Lake or show up this Thursday at 2 o’clock in CL 205.
