Students critically examine some of the major philosophers of this period, such as Descartes, Spinoza, Bacon, Hobbes, Locke, Hume, Kant, Hegel, Kierkegaard, Marx, and Nietzsche, with the specific aim of discovering how their ideas relate to such topics as ontology, epistemology, politics and human happiness, as well as ultimately uncovering the historical impact these ideas have on human thought.
