Course Description:
This course will examine the impact of (Central) European critical theory on American thought. Major emphasis will be put first on the specific historical, political, and social contexts out of which European critical theory emerged. This means that we will also familiarize ourselves with particular Central European philosophical, literary, and artistic traditions. Before this very background, we will then study some American theoreticians to see how the work of European critical theory has been taken up and transformed and modified in the U.S. context. The primary goal of this course will be to familiarize the students both with the European tradition of philosophical thought and its reception in the US. |
