Objective As a follow-up course of the “PH257 - Philosophical Methodology I”, this course has a two-fold objective: on the one hand, it aims to further develop the reading and comprehension skills that students have acquired during the previous semester, and on the other hand to provide them with necessary tools which will help them better understand the texts of great philosophers like Descartes, Spinoza or Rousseau.
Content The main part of this course focuses on reading and explaining (in French) some of the most important texts of history of philosophy written by Descartes, Spinoza and Rousseau. During the semester, participants will have to write several explanations and commentaries on these works.
Course Learning Outcomes Students who have already acquired the necessary skills to read, explain, analyze and comment on philosophical texts, will be able to make additional progress in this area and, through the works of Descartes, Spinoza and Rousseau, will obtain the ability to address some of the most profound and multifaceted philosophical doctrines and problems.
Teaching and Learning Methods Reading, explaning and analyzing philosophical texts.
