PHL 306 - Philosophy and the UnconsciousThree Credits
Spring Semester
Descartes and other modern philosophers argued for the transparency of the self. Yet, this position was radically questioned and energetically rejected by a host of European and American philosophers, psychologists, authors, poets and artists from the late 19th century through the 20th century, and the protest continues into the present day. In particular, the course will examine how the notion of the “unconscious” has complexified our understanding of the self. Featured authors will include Schopenhauer, Nietzsche, Freud, and C.G Jung.
Prerequisite(s): GENP 100 or GENP 140 .
