Information
Aims, contents and method of the course
Assessment and permitted materials
At the end of the semester, there will be a written examination. The exact date will be announced at the beginning of June. About 13 students can also give a presentation (10 minutes) during the seminar that repeats the main points of the unit before. Those students must submit, in addition, a written version of their presentations (about 7 pages). The dates for these presentations will be fixed during the first meeting.
Minimum requirements and assessment criteria
This lecture will introduce you to a picture of thinking that is primarily concerned with the relation of space and its localization within a body.
In addition, it will give you an interpretation of some crucial notions in the philosophies of Kant, Heidegger and Indian philosophies: notions of self-affection, time, space, bodies and the corporeality of thinking.

Examination topics
Lecture of Dozent Böhler. Every meeting will start with a student presentation (about 10 minutes) that reviews the main points of the last meeting. Though the course is a lecture, there will be space for discussion.
You will receive a list of the literature that will be discussed in each meeting at the beginning of the semester so that you can prepare yourself before the course takes place by reading the relevant texts in advance.

In the second half of the semester I would like to show how these later philosophies of space, bodies, self-affection and physics correspond with Indian philosophies. Some works of Paul Deussen, one of the leading Indologists of his time and a close friend of Nietzsche, will serve as a main reference to interpret Indian Vedanta philosophies, especially those of Sankara and their evaluation of self-affection, space, bodies and the relation of thinking and corporeality.
