PHI 660 Hegel's Philosophical Presence
This course is devoted to the key ideas and contributions of Hegel and rooted in his Phenomenology of Spirit, to provide us with an introduction to his philosophical system. We examine his Kantian influences, his dialectic of intersubjectivity, absolute knowing, and his unique and suggestive confrontation with religion. Hegel’s ethics, aesthetics, political philosophy, and historical influences come to play throughout the course.
