Content
In this second part of ‘the Quest for Man’ we will focus on Phenomenological & Hermeneutical approaches. Our point of departure will be the fortuitousness of western philosophy and the unsolved, but ever tentalising question, how we may comprehend the phenomenon of human existence while simultaniously being 'subject' and 'object' of this attempt toward comprehension ourselves.
Key figures in this course will be: Kierkegaard (on truth and individual existence), Husserl (on transcendental subjectivity as the ‘wonder of all wonders’), Heidegger (on the 'event' of being human and the framing of existence in the era of Technology), Sartre (the ontology of absolute freedom and radical responsibility), Merleau-Ponty (on the phenomenology of bodily perception), Gadamer (on philosophical hermeneutics) and Levinas (on questioning the primacy of ontology in phenomenology and western philosophy as a hole).
