课程名称:《现代与后现代(第二部分)》 概述:本课程探讨了“现代”这一概念如何在18世纪末的欧洲哲学和文学中发展,以及成为理解和评估文化变革的关键标准之一。我们是否仍处于现代,还是已经走向后现代? 课程大纲: 1. **强度与平常:性、死亡、侵略与罪疚** - 重点研究弗洛伊德《文明及其不满》中,如何揭示深刻的本能在日常生活中的表现。 2. **强度与平常:艺术、失落与宽恕** - 通过阅读维吉尼亚·伍尔夫的现代主义小说《到灯塔去》,探讨放弃寻找“真正真实”的追求如何使人们更能关注日常生活。 3. **后现代的日常** - 从拉尔夫·沃尔多·爱默生到路德维希·维特根斯坦,考虑生命形式和语言游戏如何需要基础,以使其具有说服力。 4. **从批判理论到后现代主义** - 通过分析马克斯·霍克海默与西奥多·阿多诺以及米歇尔·福柯的思想,面对理解控制政治的哲学努力,试图逃离整体性。 5. **绘画II** - 简要考察艺术家们如何在基础缺失的情况下回应并重新定义艺术作品。 6. **后现代身份** - 研究朱迪思·巴特勒和斯拉沃热·齐泽克的短文,以了解在缺乏基础的世界中,身份是如何形成和表现的。 7. **期中复习** - 复习我们在课程第一部分和第二部分中学习的所有思想家,以及一些补充材料。 8. **后现代实用主义** - 在后现代的幽默之后,或与之并存,重新看到实用主义的复兴,旨在将哲学重新归还给现实人类问题。 9. **额外(可选)写作作业** - 提供额外的写作机会以深入理解课程内容。 本课程将引导学生深入探讨现代与后现代的交汇,鼓励批判性思考与文化反思。

Description:
This course examines how the idea of "the modern" develops at the end of the 18th century in European philosophy and literature, and how being modern (or progressive, or hip) became one of the crucial criteria for understanding and evaluating cultural change. Are we still in modernity, or have we moved beyond the modern to the postmodern?
