PLHRS4005 PHILOSOPHY AND LITERACY MODERNITY
The course will examine the relationship between philosophy and literature in the epoch of literary modernity (from the late eighteenth century until the mid-twentieth century). Beginning with an analysis of the boundaries between philosophy and literature outlined in the Classical tradition (Plato and Aristotle), the course will demonstrate how these boundaries are increasingly blurred and problematised in modern Western thought. Key literary-philosophical movements for consideration will include Romanticism, Modernism and Existentialism. Key authors for study will include: Johann Wolfgang Goethe, Samuel Taylor Coleridge, Friedrich Nietzsche, Virginia Woolf, Thomas Mann, Franz Kafka and Albert Camus.
Commonwealth Supported Place (CSP) unit fee
A Commonwealth Supported Place (CSP) is one that is subsidised by the Australian Government, which means students only pay the student contribution amount of the tuition fee. CSPs are only available to eligible domestic students.
The student contribution amount depends on the unit and how much funding the Government provides. Each unit is classified into a band based on its discipline (which may be different to your overall course discipline).
2025 student contribution amount: $2,124
2025 grandfathered student contribution amount (for students who commenced before 1 Jan 2021*): $997
* If you are a continuing student (who commenced your course before 1 January 2021) you will continue paying the same amount as you would have, had legislative reforms not been implemented for any units that would otherwise have an increased student contribution amount.
