    Courses taught at the level of Introduction to College Composition with a grade of "C" or higher or "Pass" or equivalent or appropriate placement based on the college's multiple measures process with eligibility for ENGL C1000 or ENGL C1000E or a course at the level of college reading. This course is a survey of the major philosophical movements that characterize the twentieth and twenty- first centuries, including the rise of Continental, Anglo-American, Marxist, Feminist, Asian, African, and Latin American philosophies. Students will become familiar with the diversity of styles, methods, and approaches that contemporary philosophers have developed in response to the problems of self and subjectivity; mind and consciousness; alienation, anxiety, and authenticity; gender, race, nationality, and social justice; relativism, universalism, realism; and the role of meaning and language in philosophical inquiry.
