Course Description:
Phenomenology was one of the defining philosophical movements of the 20th Century, and it remains a lively tradition of inquiry and philosophical development today. This course provides an introduction to the Phenomenological tradition, drawing on both foundational texts in the history of the movement - such as Husserl's Ideas I and Heidegger's Being and Time - and contemporary investigations. The course will attempt to define the Phenomenological method and its distinctive conception of "phenomena," and will consider selected domains of Phenomenological inquiry, such as affect, music, time, gender, disability, incarceration, animality, or technology.
