Social and Cultural Diversity

The Frankfurt School and the Critique of Modernity
A common definition of modernity, usually associated with Max Weber, emphasizes the increasing rationality – and rationalization – of social, economic, political, intellectual and other spheres of human life, and a concomitant “disenchantment” of the world: the inevitable and progressive banishment of the irrationalities of religion, superstition, emotion, aesthetics, political extremism, and so forth. Yet other great theorists of modernity, including Sigmund Freud, Friedrich Nietzsche, Max Horkheimer and Theodor Adorno, and many others, exposed and explored a pervasive irrational core to modern existence.

In this course we will examine one such critique of modernity -- that of the Frankfurt School, tracing its development from the early 1920s and 30s in Germany to one more recent exponent, Jürgen Habermas. A key focus, however, will be on the attempt of Frankfurt School theorists (more sustained in some than in others), to retrieve and rebuild an emancipatory project out of the ruins of modernity itself. This attempt distinguishes the Frankfurt School from approaches that seek a return to the pre-modern period for philosophical guidance, and those for whom the abandonment of the universalizing pretensions of modernity marks an achievement.

授業の方法
The course will be held in a student-centered seminar format. This means that students will assume responsibility for presenting the reading materials and guiding class discussion. The total number of times a student will be asked to lead the class will depend on the number of students in the class, but, as a general estimate (if four to five students take the class), each student should expect to assume this responsibility two to three times during the course of the semester. In principal, the more students there are taking the course the less often each student will have to present. If there is only one student in the course, the class will be run as an independent study.
成績評価方法
Grades will be based on student participation, presentations, and a final paper.
