PHIL 3660

Modern Philosophy is a philosophical perspective in which individuals and their conscious thoughts are paramount. Post-modern philosophy rejects this perspective, replacing it with one in which language and society are paramount. We shall study this perspective in the writings of post-Wittgenstein philosophers like Rorty in the English-speaking world as well as those like Derrida, Irigaray, and Habermas on the Continent.
