At the turn of the century (1890-1914) Vienna was home to some of the most innovative and exciting European thinkers and artists. Pioneers of Modernism in art and architecture, music, and literature emerged from this time and place, and they were joined by scientists and philosophers who would forever change understandings of the human mind and the world we occupy.

The course is a survey of the great German thinkers of the long nineteenth century (1789-1914). The readings are selections of original writings by Immanuel Kant, G.W.F. Hegel, Karl Marx, Max Weber, Friedrich Nietzsche, and Sigmund Freud, supplemented with secondary sources chosen for their clarity and aid in reading these mostly difficult texts. The course does not require any previous knowledge. The approach to these thinkers is analytic in the tradition of Anglo-American philosophy-that is, students will evaluate the persuasiveness and logical adequacy of the arguments.
