Undervisning – vårterminen 2020
Dekanen beslutar att
- HT-fakulteterna tillfälligt ska övergå till undervisning och examination på distans med stöd av exempelvis lärplattformen Canvas eller verktyget Zoom. Undantag kan göras med hänsyn till t ex gruppstorlekar. Övergången ska ske med start den 18 mars 2020 och ska gälla till dess att rekommendationerna med anledning av coronaepidemin ändras.
The readings introduce some of the most important ideas in the history of thought, including contributions to philosophy, religion, politics, and science. And, as you will discover, these texts are in many cases also wonderful pieces of writing and a pleasure to read.
During the course, different approaches to the reading of theoretical texts will be discussed and evaluated, including close reading, historical contextualization, and various critical interpretations. Hence, the concept of the “classic” will be dealt with from both a critical and historical perspective.
The ideas contained in these classics have been hugely influential and in many ways remain with us – which serves as a good reason why we should understand where they came from originally, and what problems they were intended to solve. These and other questions will be treated during the course.
