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.
