| Leerdoelen | 1) Explore different ways in which the phenomenon of selfhood has been conceptualized, interpreted, and practiced across different times and cultures. 2) Analyze complex information derived form different kind of sources, synthetizing materials, and develop an independent and critical interpretation of them. 3) Enage in live philosophical discussions within small and larger groups, advancing a shared conversation, distilling research questions, and connecting the materials discussed to one’s own background and experience. |

| Omschrijving | The course aims to explore a spectrum of possible ways of conceiving of the self, bringing to the foreground its metaphysical, philosophical, existential and soteriological implications. This spectrum is gathered from insights offered by various disciplines (including philosophy, cognitive science, anthropology, archaeology, psychology, religious studies, intellectual history, and contemplative practices) and by focusing on specific historical cultures (ancient India and Greece, the modern West). The resulting journey is a way of practicing hermeneutics, the art of understanding and interpreting experience in its multifarious manifestations (which include different genres of written texts, oral traditions, social structures and practices, various sorts and domains of experience, ideas and ideals). This form of hermeneutics is best understood as ‘global hermeneutic’ both because of its temporal and geographical scope, and because of its interest on a phenomenon so broad and deeply rooted as selfhood. The purpose of the journey is not only descriptive. Exploring the cross-cultural spectrum of possible ways of conceiving of the self invites the more existential question of whether any of these possibilities might offer resources for dealing with the tragedies of today’s world, or maybe even saving it from some of them. | ||||||||||||
