In this course we introduce and examine key themes, authors and philosophical methodologies that are important for an understanding of and grounding in contemporary philosophy. In doing so, we aim to equip students with a broad spectrum of philosophical knowledge and critical skills that will enable them to undertake a Masters course in philosophy. The course covers two main themes: (i) the difference between various philosophical methodologies, including analytic philosophy, feminist philosophy, phenomenology and hermeneutics, and (ii) key philosophical concepts that emerge from these methodologies, such as truth, experience, knowledge, gender, art and morality.
This course is not open to HBO students, unless decided otherwise in a covenant between the institutions concerned.
