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.
