Information

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.

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.
