About this Unit
In 2020 this unit replaced by 102737 - Thinking Critically About Texts and Society. This unit introduces students to selected modern literature and philosophy of the Western tradition. Focusing on primary texts, the unit offers a critical appreciation of major intellectual, social, and aesthetic changes, understood as crucial elements in the shaping of Western modernity from the Enlightenment forward. The unit follows major concepts or themes, which students will study through their different cultural representations. Tensions, contradictions, and oppositions that these themes have engendered will also be examined. Students will gain an appreciation of major texts, aesthetic styles, and ways of thinking about the world and human experience, which have been central to modernity.
