https://at-ceu.studyguide.timeedit.net/modules/PHIL5511?type=COREIn the more than two hundred years since Kant, continental philosophy has taken many different directions, answering hugely different questions with divergent concepts and presuppositions. This makes it difficult to cover all of it in a single course. In this course, we will deal primarily with five continental figures and will attempt merely to introduce ourselves to them: Nietzsche, Bergson, Husserl, Heidegger, Derrida, and Deleuze. We will read and discuss parts of some of their central works in order to get a sense for them and then we will engage with each on a particular question: namely, what is metaphysics? Each second week, we'll discuss a chapter on this question from A.W. Moore's The Evolution of Modern Metaphysics: Making Sense of Things.
