California Institute of Integral Studies

Subject:

Description:

Through an exploration of the works of major historical figures from traditions of European thought such as Rousseau, Marx, Boas, Mead, Lévi- Strauss, Weber, and contemporary global, postcolonial critique, this course examines forms of reflection and thinking that developed in the West from the 16th century to the present, as shaped by the European encounter with indigenous peoples. How do these systems of knowledge reflect the legacies of Christianity, colonialism, nation-state formation, and biopower How might we enhance our abilities to intervene in the present through a rigorous inquiry into the cultural traditions of truth that frame the human sciences
