Expanded Course Description
This course is the second of a three-course introduction to the history of western philosophy. The purpose of this course is to examine the history of western philosophy in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries and to introduce you to the work of several philosophers who have been particularly influential in the development of the western philosophical tradition. We will examine the work of these philosophers as responses, within European philosophy, to the discovery of the American continents. In order to understand more fully the nature of the response, we will also examine instances of the ?non-western? philosophy of the people indigenous to the Americas. Work in this course will involve the practice of philosophical investigation through the activities of critical reading, writing projects, and regular discussions.
