This lecture series provides an introductory survey of typical philosophical topics which evolved from the tension between experimental evidence and religious beliefs. The role of female philosophers for this period will be discussed. The lectures begin with René Descartes and end with the philosophy of Henri Bergson.
Aim: To provide a survey of modern philosophy and discuss the contemporary interest in these historical matters.Due to COVID-19 the teaching method will resemble a flipped classroom: you read the assigned texts, post your questions via Moodle (anonymously) and I will help you understand the material in Online-Meetings at weekly intervals. Since this is not a course or seminar, your attendance at our online meetings is totally up to you.
