Omschrijving	This course focuses on different developments of western philosophy in the nineteenth and twentieth century. In particular, we will analyze how Kant’s Copernical Revolution ushered in various attempts to find new starting points and new ways of doing philosophy. We will initially go over some fundamental stages of this itinerary, including Hegel, Bergson and Nietzsche. This will provide us with essential theoretical and historical tools for a critical orientation in the manifold philosophical tines inaugurated, developed or subverted by Arendt, Levinas, Foucault, Deleuze-Guattari. The main goal consists in becoming acquainted with distinguished modern philosophers that have shaped our way(s) of thinking and living till today. Nevertheless, we will not overlook other approaches, conceptual paradigms and perspectives that are increasingly influencing both the philosophical and current public debates.
