Course objectives
The subtitle of the course is "Non-Modern Modernity, Non-Sociological Sociology".
Its goal is to make students acquainted with selected texts and general styles of thought of Friedrich Nietzsche, Sigmunt Freud, and Michel Foucault.
The aspiration of the teachers is to inform, support and intellectually stimulate those who are interested in the most practical aspect of sociological knowledge: critical thinking.
Students will be led to recognize and appreciate that it only is the capacity of critical imagination that makes factual knowledge and technical skills fully useful.
