PHL 265 - Readings in Contemporary Thought

Three Credits
Not Offered 2015-2016

An introduction to the philosophy of our time. Texts chosen to be readable. A focus on humanistic issues: how the unconscious controls behavior, where meaning and value come from, how one can be hoodwinked by political ideologies, whether the mind really exists, what to do about the loss of meta-narratives in our modern lives.

Prerequisite(s): One 100-Level Philosophy course.
