Grad Seminar Basic Course Information

Course Description

This course focuses on philosophical method, as well as rhetoric and style in philosophical discourse and writing. The search for method in philosophy is itself a philosophical investigation and we try to pursue it as a collaborative project, through both common readings and student driven content. The seminar structure of the course allows students to develop ongoing research interests and share research with the class. The goal of the course is to create a research environment in which students can both think about method and practice philosophy as an intellectual craft.
