Continental Philosophy
The impact of
continental philosophy has been tremendous, infusing the humanities with a
strange brew made up of energy and insight combined with absurdity and
meaninglessness. This program delves deeply into concepts and thought
processes that fueled the inquiries of the era’s major exponents: Hegel’s
dialectic, Marx’s dialectical materialism, Kierkegaard’s lone individual
standing before God, Nietzsche’s declaration that God is dead, Husserl’s
intentionality, Heidegger’s Dasein, and Sartre’s assertion that people are
condemned to be free. Illuminating commentary is offered by Merold Westphal,
of Fordham University, and Alexander Nehamas, of Princeton University.
Excerpts from Hegel’s Philosophy of Right, Nietzsche’s Thus Spoke
Zarathustra, and Heidegger’s Being and Time are included. (48
minutes) The DVD version has on-demand English subtitles and can be viewed
using a DVD player or computer DVD-ROM drive.
