PHIL 501 class schedule data for spring 2013
	CRN	Type	Section	Time	Day	Location	Instructor	Section Details
	51988	Lecture-Discussion	1RS	3:00PM -4:50PM	W	402 Gregory Hall	Schacht, R	Part of Term: 1 Date Range: 01/14/13-05/01/13 Credit: 2 hours Section Info: TOPIC: HEGEL ON MENSCH AND GEIST. In this seminar we will focus upon Hegel?s interpretation of human reality in terms of what he calls Geist (better translated as ?spirit? than ?mind,? but perhaps best left untranslated). This will involve looking at many of his main texts, since his entire philosophy revolves around this concept and its interpretation. We will begin with a look at the opening chapters of his Logic (Vol. One of his Encyclopedia, in which he situates his philosophical project in relation to the previous history of philosophy), and at the Introduction to his Lectures on the Philosophy of History (which is a nice introduction to his ?philosophy of Geist?). Our main texts will be his Philosophy of Geist (Vol. Three of his Encyclopedia of the Philosophical Wissenschaften), his Phenomenology of Geist, and his Philosophy of Recht ("right," i.e., "rightness" or normativity.) Participants in the seminar should have their own copies of the three main texts, plus the Introduction to the Philosophy of History. Other readings will be made available in a course pack or as handouts. Restriction(s): Restricted to Graduate - Urbana-Champaign.
