PHL 229 - Phenomenology

Institution:

Muhlenberg College

Subject:

Description:

In the twentieth century phenomenology has emerged as a new and powerful philosophical program. At its core is the impulse to reveal the reality which underlies and gets obscured by scientific activity and "everyday" thinking. But while the thinkers who carry out this project share a similarity of method, theirwritings reveal a provocative variation in results. What does this mean And what are the strengths and weaknesses of phenomenology as a method, program, and as a type of argument We will consider these questions by considering the writings of thinkers such as Husserl, Heidegger, Sartre, Merleau Ponty, Irigaray, and Levinas.
