    Description
    This course is an introduction and survey of Modern European Philosophy. This course will trace the development of modern philosophical developments in fields such as epistemology, ethics, metaphysics, and political philosophy. As such this course will trace the development of epistemology from Rene Descartes through Immanuel Kant, the development of ethical thought from the beginning of the Enlightenment period through the German Idealists, and the development of political philosophy from Thomas Hobbes to Jean Jacques Rousseau. In addition, this course will investigate several of the most influential responses to these currents of modern thought. These responses may include Marxism, Pragmatism, Feminism, Existentialism, and Postmodernism.
