Expanded Course Description
| Time, Identity, Sense.
This course introduces its main theme by first presenting a broad view of Continental philosophy in its lineages, in its main thematic questions, and in its contemporary developments. These formal schemata serve to frame and introduce the central question of the course, a question that situates and permeates Continental philosophy: Beginning from Nietzsche’s overturning of Platonism (i.e., the overturning of reason, subjectivity, metaphysical idealism, scientific positivism, and ontotheological values and morality as ground for philosophical knowledge) the question is how after that one can still find a sense for language and thought, and, with this, how we may find philosophical articulations of identity/ies, of the sense/s of the human, and of the non-human. These questions are engaged in light of the temporal character of human consciousness and of the phenomena, as developed in phenomenology, hermeneutics, and deconstruction. Besides reading seminal texts in these fields, the course includes invited lectures on other fields of study in Continental philosophy, such as, for example, feminism, Marxism, critical theory, critical phenomenology, environmental philosophy, race, and gender. All lectures are based on the original texts, the course involves close reading, and students with sufficient reading knowledge are encouraged to work with the original languages.
