SPRING 2022:
PHIL 201 - How to Think About

The Modern era
(including the 17th and 18th
centuries) is one of the most exciting eras
of Western civilization, with revolutions in
philosophy, science, and society that
changed the course of history and laid the
foundations for the contemporary world.
We'll critically evaluate the philosophical
work of some of the central figures in this
revolution, focusing on their accounts of
knowledge and reality. People discussed
include Rene Descartes, Princess Elisabeth
of Bohemia, John Locke, Margaret Cavendish,

Gottfired Wilhelm Leibniz, and others.
