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?

surprised by the focus on literature, art and architecture
teacher does good job of explaining concepts and reviewing-summarizing
The course is ultimately wonderful to comprehend a unique insight into the literary traits of the PostModern Era. Thanks a lot .
This is a great philosophy course because you get written assignments, which is necessary in any philosophy course in my opinion.
