PHIL 108 CM - Hegel

This class focuses on Hegel’s philosophy, which stands at the crossroads between Early Modern Philosophy and later figures such as Marx, Nietzsche and Heidegger. We pay special attention to extremely difficult readings from the Phenomenology of Spirit and the Science of Logic. Topics include the nature of dialectic, the struggle for recognition and the dialectic of lordship and bondage, freedom of the will, Hegel’s criticisms of Kant, the laws of nature, teleological explanation, and Hegel’s account of “absolute knowledge.”
