PHI 4050 - Comparative Thought: Variable Topics



Credits: 3

Prerequisite(s): PHI 2040; PHI 3000 or PHI 3020

Description: Comparative thought or philosophy-sometimes called cross-cultural philosophy-is a sub field that considers a single myth, theme, topic or set of problems by comparing a plurality of sources from different streams and traditions, across cultural, linguistic, and historical boundaries. This course examines some fundamental human issues and questions from different perspectives, possibly involving a further examination of specific ideological or political viewpoints, both within and across cultures, as well. Some of the challenges to comparative work, including chauvinism, anachronism, incommensurability, and perennialism may also be discussed.

Note: This course may be repeated for credit under different topics.
