This course examines Kant’s writing and the remarkable and challenging century of philosophy that followed in its wake. Our central themes will include: the power and limits of human reason; our ethical and political obligations and the source(s) of their authority; the significance of human culture and historical transformation in shaping the values that we presently hold; philosophy’s relationship to art, science, and religion; and the threat of ideology and nihilism to our self-understanding and sense of meaning. In addition to Kant, featured authors may include Hegel, Marx, Mill, Kierkegaard, and Nietzsche. Prerequisite: PHIL 120.
