Prerequisites
The course assumes a basic background in the history of philosophy given by LFILO1330 and LFILO1340.
Main themes
The course in the history of contemporary philosophy will seek to deepen knowledge of the period concerned, starting with a given theme or corpus.
It will pay particular attention to the genesis of the chosen subject and, based on an up-to-date state of research, will attempt to shed light on this subject and to advance the questions related to it.
The historical scope of this course ranges from the mid-19th century to the present day; the approach may be diachronic or synchronic.
The systematic field will not be restrictive, since the course may simultaneously or alternatively emphasize problems relating to epistemology, ethics, metaphysics, anthropology, aesthetics, social and political philosophy, or the philosophy of history or religion (the list is not exhaustive).
