It examines critical moments when major intellectual figures turned their attention to the age’s most urgent social problems. The social realities they confronted included capitalistic alienation, nationalistic fervor, bureaucratic control, sexual repression, gender inequality, anti-Semitism, racism, and humanity’s growing domination of nature. Course readings are quintessential expressions of modern social thought whose influence is still palpable and whose ideas are still relevant. We will assess works written by Marx, Nietzsche, Weber, Durkheim, Freud, Sartre, de Beauvoir, Fanon, and Lefebvre. Throughout the semester, we will use imaginative literature, film, and the arts to better understand the climate that shaped European thought and society in the modern era.
