PHI 356 - Contemporary Philosophy
(FORMERLY PHI 256)
Are there any foundations for our claims about truth and value? Is science the only reliable path to knowledge? How are things given to consciousness? What sense, if any can be made of the array of conflicting interpretations in and of literature, philosophy, religion, and art? How can I live authentically as a person? Does Philosophy have a future? These and other questions will be examined through a study of contemporary thought including analytic philosophy, pragmatism, phenomenology, existentialism, hermeneutics, structuralism, and deconstructionism. Prerequisite: two philosophy courses, one in historical philosophy (examples: PHI 154 , PHI 254 , PHI 255 .)
3 hours a week 1 semester 3 credits.
