PHI 255 - Modern Philosophy
Modern politics, science, and technology directly challenged the older and established traditions of the ancients and medievals. Each raised anxiety concerning what can be known with certainty about ourselves and the world, and even things divine. What is the best way to live? And are we, as moderns, better off or not? Enlightened or not? These and other questions will be examined through a study of Machiavelli, Bacon, Descartes, Hobbes, Hume, Locke, Kant, and Hegel. Recommended: either PHI 124 , PHI 154 , or department approval.
1 semester 3 credits.
