SOC 3090 - Philosophical Foundations of Social Theory
Effective Date 10/03/2012
This course pursues the question of the ways in which classical social theory is rooted in, and indebted to, philosophy and metaphysics. This will be shown through four cases: Kant’s ‘Critique of Pure Reason’, Hegel’s ‘Phenomenology of Spirit’, Nietzsche’s ‘Will to Power’, Heidegger’s ‘Being and Time’. Problems central to all sciences and modes of cognition, such as knowledge & truth, theory & ideology, and agency vs. causality will be covered.
