HN 406 - Philosophies of the Other

(3.00 cr.)

Restricted to Honors students. Recent philosophy confronts a range of Others-the Other that I hate, that I love, that I fight, that I worship, even the Other that I am to myself. This course traces these very different modes of Otherness: social, sexual, political, religious, and metaphysical. Readings from Hegel, Levinas, Freud, de Beauvoir, Sartre, Marx, Lacan, Zizek, and Weil. Counts as an Honors humanities seminar. Closed to students in the Class of 2018 and beyond. Same course as PL 406 .
