| Continguts |
| The course will be centered around two related aspects. On one hand the contrast between the French concept of " civilisation " and the German concept of " Kultur ". On the other hand, some technical aspects will be analyzed, such as the imact of progress on civilization and cultural pessimism. The central point for discussion will be based around philosophical texts from the first third of the twentieth century, focussing on experiences of war and the phenomenon of terror as characteristics of the modern era. |
