Course detail: PHIL551
TOPICS EARLY MODERN PHIL
Topics in Philosophy and Literature: Spinoza and the German Enlightenment. This is a course on the reception of the philosophy of Baruch (Benedictus) Spinoza and what can be called, after Pierre Bayle and G.W. Leibniz (among others), "Spinozism," in such German Enlightenment figures as Moses Mendelssohn, G.E. Lessing, and Heinrich Heine. Readings will be drawn from Spinoza and his successors and will include both philosophical and literary texts. All texts will be available in the original languages and in translation. Time permitting, we will consider texts more typically associated with German Idealism.
