History of Philosophy 3: From Nietzsche — to Now

Summer Term 2018, Mondays, 19:00 – 21:00, ten weeks starting 23^rd April

Course Tutor: Jane O’Grady.

If God is dead, as Nietzsche claimed, what happens to truth and morality? We shall consider the re-making of values, humanity and truth — in Nietzsche’s ‘aristocratic radicalism’, John Stuart Mill’s utilitarianism and feminism, William James’s pragmatism and Freud’s unconscious; in Heidegger, Sartre, Wittgenstein, Ayer, and in the current tortured debate on the mind-body problem. See course outline (Word doc) for more information.
