Afterward, the class will approach different theories dealing with the question of the "individual versus society," giving particular attention to social contract theories, libertarianism, anarchism and socialism. The course concludes with the study of some contributions of Friedrich Nietzsche and of Cornelius Castoriadis to the various political and ethical issues raised throughout the semester.

  • PHI 135: Race,Class and Gender

    4.00 Credits
    Albright College

    This course introduces students to questions of self, self-consciousness, and identity, and addresses philosophy as a way of living and relating to the world. A special focus will be accorded to how humans in communities relate to "others" and how social, cultural or political categories associated with "race," "class" and"gender" have developed historically and how they may still function today. A closer look at the relation between race and ethnicity, between class and status, and between gender and sexuality allows the class to assess and distinguish "domination" functioning within asymmetries of power and "difference" functioning within negotiable and heterogeneous social and political spaces.
