    Exploration of the work of three German thinkers who revolutionized modern philosophy, theology, psychology, aesthetics, the social sciences, gender studies, historiography, literary theory, literature and the arts. We will be reading and discussing a selection of key writings by Karl Marx, Friedrich Nietzsche and Sigmund Freud. In addition, we will examine certain texts by other thinkers who were important for their work, as well as some more recent writings that both reflected their influence, and drew their ideas in new directions. All readings will be in English. Select primary texts will also be available in German on reserve (at the library, or in downloadable form as pdf files).
