Course Content (Syllabus)
These lectures refer to the basic currents of the theoretical philosophy of the 19th century in Europe, and to the transition to the problematic of theoretical philosophy in early 20th century. The philosophy of the 19th century further develops critical philosophy as expressed in the philosophical investigations of the 18th century which experienced their peak in Kantian philosophy. Apart from recurring on the modern critique of metaphysics and dogmatism, the theoretical philosophy of the 19th century searched for a composite form of reason as a fundament of the relation between knowledge and truth. Such investigations were often divided in regard to the question about the possibility of the systematization of elements of possible experience. The dilemmas of this problematic accompanied the transition to the theoretical philosophy of the 20th century. During the lectures we will discuss issues of Kantian and post-Kantian idealist philosophy, representative cases of the critique of theoretical systematization in the 19th century, and the reformulation of 19th century theoretical dilemmas in the philosophical current of phenomenology in early 20th century.
