PH 355 - History of Modern Philosophy:Bacon-Kant

Institution:

Saint Mary's University of Minnesota

Subject:

Description:

4 credits In this course, the third of four history of philosophy courses (prerequisite: PH253 History of Ancient Philosophy, and PH254 History of Medieval Philosophy), we study the major philosophical movements of the early modern period beginning with the rise of inductive natural science. We then examine rationalism, empiricism and conclude with Kant's critical philosophy. The central epistemological theme of the course reflects the modern conviction that before other sciences may be studied with profit, the possibility and modes of human knowledge must be determined.
