PHI 3346 Continental Tradition
The tradition of continental philosophy, like the analytic tradition with which it is usually contrasted, conceived twentieth-century thought as breaking with the past; unlike analysis, it mined the past to help differentiate philosophy from science, to articulate fundamental contingencies of human understanding and existence, and to reveal structures of consciousness other, and perhaps more basic, than logic. This course explores the origins and development of the continental tradition by considering its various strands (like phenomenology, structuralism, semiotics, existentialism, hermeneutics, critical theory, post-structuralism, and postmodernism) and their interactions.
