Learning Outcomes of UE

By the end of the course, students will be able to grasp the philosophical message of texts which are not considered to be philosophical. They will also be able to analyse philosophical ideas and the link between ideas and their expression.

Content of UE

In function of the students' interests, certain texts will be chosen at the beginning of the year. Texts can be chosen according to genre (novels, plays, dialogues, etc.) or according to discipline (literary texts, legal texts, scientific texts, etc.). These will then be read and discussed in class. Particular attention will be paid to the way in which they are written (choice of words, form, expression of ideas, etc.) in order to get an understanding of how writing influences ideas and how ideas influence writing. In order to achieve this, certain written exercises will be set.

Prior Experience

It is not necessary for students to have previously taken Philosophy courses in order for them to follow this course.
