The object of this course is to develop a critical comprehension of Sartre's phenomenological approach to the theme of under- standing human beings. Being and Nothingness, the major work in which Sartre presented his ontological theory of consciousness in bad faith, will be the central text. Sartre's earlier writings on the transcendence of the ego, on emotions, and on imagination will be carefully considered as background material for his major work.

This course is a fairly comprehensive introduction to Husserl's work as well as to phenomenology. We touch upon several of his more important texts, including Logical Investigations, Ideas, Crisis of European Sciences, On the Phenomenology of the Consciousness of Internal Time and Cartesian Meditations . While analyzing the texts themselves, we focus also on the development of certain issues within Husserl's phenomenology, such as temporality, corporeality, and inter-subjectivity, through the course of his work.

On the basis of a thorough examination of The Phenomenology of Perception and some of Merleau-Ponty's other writings (including sections of The Visible and the Invisible), we shall evaluate Merleau-Ponty's notion of the lived body and his treatment of the relation between language and perception. We shall also consider the relation between The Phenomenology of Perception and Merleau-Ponty's later writings.

In the wake of the development of classical pragmatism in the writings of Peirce, James, and Dewey, many critics have modified key pragmatic and pragmaticist insights. This course explores both the founding insights that pragmatism draws from German Idialism, particularly from Kant, Hegel, and Heidegger, and then the recent modifications of pragmatism found in the writing of Rorty, Davidson, Brandom, and Habermas. The basic supposition of the course is that neo-pragmatists reject theories that assume verification in terms of some empirical given or mere coherence of beliefs in favor of determination of meaning and truth relative to some kind of holistic structure, either objective or intersubjective in character. Such a holism can be expressed primarily in the framework of a practical theory of action. Specifically, we shall examine the problem of action explanation in Kant and Hegel, the impetus the Heidegger's turn to an existential ontology gave to action theory, and then the attempts of recent thinkers to establish a theory of meaning, belief, and justification without "foundations". What we will investigate are, in the main, truth theories that target assent (Davidson), consent (Habermas), cultural agreement or conversationalism (Rorty) and inhertibility/entitlement (Brandom).
