Hegel's Phenomenology is an unusual early work and perhaps the single most important philosophical treatise of the nineteenth century. This difficult book amply repays close study. The aim of the course is to read as much of this work with as much care as possible. There will be frequent reference to the surrounding German philosophical tradition, as well as discussion of Hegel's influence and the viability of Hegel's views.

This course examines the major philosophies of science (logical empiricist, realist, phenomenological, feminist, and constructivist) and their implications for the relation of science and technology. We will focus particularly on the question of whether science possesses a univocal, universal, and neutral rationality or must always be governed by the values that are more directly related to a particular society or historical period than to the way things are. Some of the thinkers we will consider are Hempel, Kitcher, Boyd, Kuhn, Bloor, Laudan, Biology and Gender Study Group, Keller, Merleau-Ponty, Rouse, Feyerabend, and Foucault.

Texts will include Kant's Prolegomena, Fichte's Science of Knowledge, possibly Schelling's System of Transcendental Idealism, and Hegel's Differenzschrift.
