PHIL 487 - Hegel and Marx (3)

A close study of the social and political thought of Hegel and the early Marx, exploring key ideas such as recognition, alienation, the critique of capitalism, exploitation, and historical materialism, with an eye toward their relevance for contemporary political philosophy and critical social theory. Classical texts from Hegel and Marx will be supplemented by readings from more recent authors working in the Hegelian and Marxian traditions, in order to give students a sense of the continuing influence and development of Hegel’s and Marx’s thought. Recommended Preparation: One 300-level course in philosophy with a grade of ‘C’ or better, especially PHIL 322, PHIL 355, or PHIL 486.
