Course/Module description:
The course investigates the concept of relationships as a counterbalance to the centrality of the individual in our public lives. The idea and its implications will be looked at from multiple disciplinary perspectives: theological, philosophical, gender, education, ethics and others
Course/Module aims:
The aim of the course is to build a substantial understanding of the meaning of "relationships", as both a critique and as a corrective to the centrality of the autonomous rational individual in our public lives.
Learning outcomes - On successful completion of this module, students should be able to:
- have a rich understanding of "relationships" as a substantive concept, and "the autonomous individual" and its centrality today.
- the students will be able to consider what a more relationship-based public philosophy would look like
-the students will learn real life applications of relationship phenomenology to multiple practices: education, social work, community building and more
