Course Content

skepticism, ethics, will to power,aesthetics, and the nature of art will be discussed as we read primary philosophical texts including those by Plato, scholastic approach,renaisanse, Descartes,spinoza, Kant,Hegel,Nietzsche, Marx, Heidegger and frankfurt school will be discussed. From "Zeno's Paradox" in ancient Greece to Michel Foucaut's "Discipline and Punish," we will grapple with the intellectual watersheds that continue to haunt the modern mind.
