Western philosophy from Kant until present. An examination of the texts of philosophers such as Hegel, Mill, Nietzsche and Heidegger.

Examination of major concepts and issues in social and political philosophy. The concepts of equality, law, freedom, and social and political responsibility.

The nature of art, reality and realization in art, the moral and political aspects of art and art critique.

Detailed examination current topics in philosophy.

An advanced study of a topic in ancient ethical or political philosophy, broadly construed. Topics that may include a figure or school, a question or theme, or a relevant text. Emphasis on critical engagement with current scholarly debates on the chosen topic.

The aim of this course is to introduce the students to the issues, debates and themes in the contemporary feminist theory. We will emphasize the impact of recent social theories and their destabilizing influences in comparison to the unifying theme of the earlier feminist theories. We will focus on the conceptual debates surrounding issues such the body, sexuality, sexual identity, the category of woman and the politics of difference.
