SEMESTER 5: FIRST STEPS IN CONTEMPORARY PHILOSOPHY

OBJECTIVES

To show how, born of modernity, contemporary philosophical currents are in the background of today's problems

To present a sub-discipline sometimes referred to as aesthetics, philosophy of art or philosophy of beauty. Perception, meaning, emotions... are all part of human intelligence.

To present the quest for meaning that characterizes contemporary philosophers as diverse as S. Kierkegaard, F. Nietzsche, Henri Bergson and Emmanuel Levinas.

ACQUIRED COMPETENCIES

Having discovered major contemporary philosophers.

Being able to use their systems of thought to approach subjects such as relationships, beauty, and resentment.

SEMESTER 6: CONTEMPORARY PHILOSOPHIES

OBJECTIVES

To show how, although they address almost identical questions, it is useful to perceive how the authors on the curriculum constitute different worlds of thought, almost without communication with each other. Each philosopher constitutes a form of synthesis, a global vision, unified around a strong and central thought.

To ask the question: does dialogue exist or is thought fragmented in heterogeneous universes?

To introduce some of these systems of thought, through Jean Paul Sartre, Michel Foucault, Michel Henry, and René Girard.

ACQUIRED COMPETENCIES

Being able to analyze the violence of individuals and that which tears societies apart with relevant conceptual tools.

Being able to perceive that fraternity is not given to start with, but that it has to be built patiently, and above all, to be healed.

Having a sufficient culture in the history of the philosophy of science to approach the questions of bioethics, in particular in the medical field.

Being able to position the human person, his or her autonomy but also his or her determinisms, with the help of contemporary philosophy.
