Issues in 17th- and 18th-Century Philosophy

Undergraduate

Special issue or a particular thinker of central importance in the classical period of modern philosophy. Where it does not focus upon one individual (e.g., Descartes, Spinoza, Leibniz, Locke, Berkeley, Hume, Kant), the course will trace the development of an issue (e.g., causality, mind-body union, the doctrine of substance, personal identity) through its classical origins. Course Format: Seminar, 3 hours per week. Prerequisite(s): One PHIL credit, or permission of the instructor
