The conceived philosophical objective of the course is that of an active exploration into themes of contemporary relevance. For this it focuses on five modern German Political philosophers works from the twentieth century: Carl Schmitt, Eric Fromm, Wilhelm Reich, Jurgen Habermas and Walter Benjamin. The modules have thematic foci that suggest the relevance of their work in the analysis of contemporary socio-political milieu. The course, through ‘select excerpts’, examines closely how recent German political theory has developed as a set of responses to problems of political life. There will be an exploratory/ analytic exercise for each module that brings about the philosophical outcome of reflection, contextualization and development or extrapolation of the perspectives.
