PHIL 352 - Modern Philosophy

Institution:

King's College - Pennsylvania

Subject:

Philosophy

Description:

Between the late sixteenth and the nineteenth century, political and scientific revolutions changed Europe, ushering in what is often called "modernity." Philosophers not only struggled to understand these changes; they were also crucial agents-sometimes witting, sometimes not-in the creation of a new intellectual and social world. This course tracks the ideas and influence of several major players, with special emphasis on Descartes, Hobbes, Locke, Hume, Rousseau, Kant, Hegel, Leibniz, and Spinoza. The course also connects modern philosophy to our contemporary intellectual climate.
