Credits: 4 (PHL 3XXX) Spring semester course with May travel in Germany for two weeks
Instructors: Jay Miller (professor of philosophy) & Brian Conlan (Library Director)
Travel Dates: TBD
This course will be an immersive experience that will provide students with a rich understanding of the major cultural and intellectual developments of modern Germany. We will begin our sojourn with the art, politics, and philosophy of the nineteenth century and trace the growing tensions among these through the rise and fall of Nazi Germany. Coupling in-depth analysis of key texts with on-site experience of the modern urban center of Berlin (with day trips to Weimar and Dessau), we will focus critical attention on the collision between artistic culture and political dictatorship that defines modern Germany.
