PHI 240 - American Philosophy
This course will examine the rich heritage of American philosophy as a resource to enable students to understand and manage the rapid changes, increasing social diversity, and conflicting paradigms of beliefs, meaning and value which characterize the twenty-first century. From Emerson and Thoreau through Peirce, James, Dewey, and Mead to contemporary neo-pragmatists, American thinkers will be examined for the ideas, ideals, and methods of thinking which shape many of our contemporary views of education, religion, society and politics, and the American psyche. Recommended: Either PHI 124 , PHI 154 , or a course in American history or political thought subject to departmental approval.
1 semester 3 credits.
