1 PH 360 CROSS-CULTURAL PHILOSOPHY IES Abroad Vienna DESCRIPTION: The basic presupposition behind the course is that philosophy is an activity we are unable to resist : since we reflect on other people, the events around us, on ourselves and on our actions, and since we are also able to reflect on that reflection, and so on, we are, in a certain sense, always already in philosophy, yet there are various ways of performing this reflection. Thus, we may even feel at home in philosophy. The course is not a classic introduction to philosophy, and it does not follow the logic of the history of philosophy, since it looks at philosophy not as something which can be explained (or contains self-explanation ) across time but as a rich collection of questions and problems worth visiting again and again. Thus, the course may also be of some interest to those who already have some experience with philosophy and/or are familiar with the texts to be studied and interpreted (please see below), while it does not require any previous training in the field. The ultimate presupposition is that whether later a professional philosopher or not, each of us should develop a personal and unique philosophy of her or his own. The cross-cultural aspect of the course is highlighted by juxtaposing the so-called Continental (German-French) and the Analytic (British and American) traditions in philosophy, throughout the semester. (3 Credits) For 4 credits, you may take PH 460, which is this course supplemented by a Seminar (Monday 15:00-16:30), please see separate description! CREDITS: 3 credits CONTACT HOURS: 45 hours LANGUAGE OF INSTRUCTION: English PREREQUISITES: Since each technical term will carefully be explained and clarified, previous training in philosophy is an advantage but by no means a prerequisite. Some genuine interest in philosophical problems is, however, presupposed. METHOD OF PRESENTATION: There will be 20, ninety minute-long meetings; each 90-minute-long class will be concerned with two major activities: there will be a discussion of the piece under the heading Compulsory reading; the compulsory readings will be available on the Moodle page of the course. The course will pay careful attention to the intercultural aspects of the ideas under discussion, with special reference to the immediate context: Vienna, a town famous for forming and shaping philosophical ideas in the 20 th century. The course will rely on student-presentations but there will also be lecture-like explanations from the instructors. The most important goal, however, is to have discussions and debates throughout the term on the basis of the readings. Thus, the course is intended as a real dialogue: it will, besides the traditional lecture-format, heavily rely on student participation in the form of short class-presentations and contributions to the discussions. REQUIRED WORK AND FORM OF ASSESSMENT: Take-home Midterm exam: (30%) three short essays, answering three questions out of the choice of six, testing (1) familiarity with the basic concepts covered, (2) the ability to reproduce arguments (3) critical thinking: taking a stand, evaluating the feasibility of a certain position Take-home Final exam: (40%) there will be some excerpts from the compulsory readings, students will have to comment on these, (otherwise the goal of testing as under the Midterm exam ) Class participation: (30 %) presentation in front of the class + taking part in the discussions. Absences should be excused. If you cannot attend for some serious reasons (such as illness, or emergency), please contact, if possible, the Registrar in the Registrar s Office (personally, or by phone) before the class you are going to miss.. If you feel you have problems, come to see me, or send me an kallay@ucsc.edu LEARNING OUTCOMES: By the end of the course students will be able to: aware that philosophy has its own characteristic areas and reductions and an awareness of how these areas are related and of these reductions is one of the most important tasks of philosophy acquainted with the most significant areas of philosophical thinking, from the standpoint of our present situation aware that there are two major traditions in Western philosophy: the Continental and the Anglo- Saxon one, but in the past twenty years they have started to seek not what would divide but what would connect them
2 able to acquire the rudiments of philosophical argumentation in both traditions and they should realise that philosophy may bring not only torment but joy, too ATTENDANCE POLICY: See IES Abroad Vienna handbook.
