Description: The French philosophers who erupted on the scene in the decades after 1960—namely Foucault, Derrida, Lyotard, Levinas, and, most recently, Jacques Rancière and Alain Badiou—have had an enormous and controversial impact not only on philosophy, but also on the social sciences, literary studies, area studies, art history, theology, and film and media studies. This course studies the principal contributions of these figures, alongside critical interpretations of their work by late American philosopher Richard Rorty and the German philosopher Jürgen Habermas. Conducted in English.
Offered: Fall Spring Summer
