Modern European Philosophy MA

About

This course offers a structured study of 19th- and 20th-century European philosophy, closely interpreting and analysing foundational texts. Four taught modules are followed by a dissertation on a topic of your choice.

Particular attention is given to Kant and Hegel, and subsequent philosophical developments in Germany and France.

The course approaches Kant's critical philosophy as a basis for understanding European philosophy as a whole. Other major authors include Marx, Nietzsche, Deleuze, Badiou, Agamben, Butler, and many others. There is also a wide range of optional modules.
