Course/Module description:
The philosophy of the 19th century forms an important chapter in the history of philosophy. It presents us with some very interesting attempts to establish, in response to Kant's philosophy, an ultimate system of thought, and on the other hand it presents us with influential attacks upon the pretence of such a philosophical project. The course will tell the story of the philosophy of the 19th century from this perspective by discussing Kant, Schopenhauer, Hegel, Kierkegaard and Nietzsche.
