Information
Ziele, Inhalte und Methode der Lehrveranstaltung
This course is part of the entry phase of the MA in philosophy. Students will acquire important background knowledge and skills on five core topics within theoretical philosophy. It is the provisional plan to cover the following five topics: scepticism, truth, intentionality (i.e. mental representation), models of conversation, and testimony.This course is in the new “Masterkurs” course format of the new master programme. This means that it comprises 10 ECTS and there are double sessions each week (i.e. twice 90 minutes a week). The course format involves some lecturing, but also discussion as well as composing and presenting written work on which feedback is given and received.The course is structured as follows: we will dedicate two weeks to each of the topics. In the first week of each topic, there will be some lecture-style presentation and seminar-style discussion of texts that everyone is expected to study in advance. In the second week on each topic, each student will be expected to compose a short position statement on one question chosen from a list of questions pertaining to the topic. The pre-read position statements will then be debated in class.After these five two-week parts, there will be another two weeks in which each participant is asked to choose one of the five topics and to compose and present a 2000 word paper in that area. This paper will be discussed in pre-read sessions, and participants will be able to use the feedback received to revise their paper, before they submit it to the course leader for evaluation.
Art der Leistungskontrolle und erlaubte Hilfsmittel
The assessment consists of six components: five short position statements and one 2000 word essay. Each of the five position statements counts for 10% of the grade, and the essay counts for 50%.
Mindestanforderungen und Beurteilungsmaßstab
Minimum requirement: regular attendance and completion and of each of the six component assessments. The average grade of the five position statements needs to be 4 or better,, and also the essay needs to receive grade 4 or better. The overall grade will be the weighted average of the grades of the component assessments (i.e. the weight is 10% for each of the position statements and 50% for the essay).
