Spring 2024
Theories of Peace from Kant to MLK AS.211.387 (01)
That the nations of the world could ever work together seems utopian, but also unavoidable: migration, war, and not least climate change make some form of global coordination increasingly necessary. This course will give historical and philosophical depth to the idea of a cosmopolitan order and world peace by tracing it from its ancient sources through early modernity to today. At the center of the course will be the text that has been credited with founding the tradition of a world federation of nations, Immanuel Kant’s "Toward Perpetual Peace" (1795). Confronting recent and current political discourse, literature, and philosophy with Kant’s famous treatise, we will work to gain a new perspective on the idea of a world order. In addition to Kant, readings include Homer, Erasmus, Pico della Mirandola, Rousseau, Jeremy Bentham, Emily Dickinson, Tolstoy, Whitman, Rosa Luxemburg, Gandhi, Hannah Arendt, John Lennon, and Martin Luther King as well as lesser-known authors such as the Abbé de Saint-Pierre, Ellen Key, Odette Thibault, Simone Weil, and Claude Lefort.

Spring 2024
Wiener Moderne / Viennese Modernism AS.213.338 (01)
Taught in German. The capital of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, Vienna was the center of extraordinary cultural and intellectual flourishing around the turn of the 20th century. A monumental building campaign along the Ringstrasse, which replaced the old city walls, massively transformed the urban fabric of the city. The founding of the Vienna Secession marked a period of re-birth that spread throughout the visual arts, literature, theater, music, architecture, and design. Literati and intellectuals including Sigmund Freud, who revolutionized psychology through the founding of psychoanalysis, gathered at now-famous Viennese Kaffeehäuser. This course surveys the artistic, cultural, intellectual, and political landscape of Vienna from ca. 1890 to the First World War. Figures to be examined include Hoffmansthal, Schnitzler, Rilke, Klimt, Schiele, Kokoschka, Loos, Wagner, Schönberg, Freud, and Wittgenstein, among others.

Existentialism in Literature and Philosophy AS.213.374 (01)
What does it mean to exist, and to be able to reflect on this fact? What is it mean to be a self? This course explores the themes of existentialism in literature and philosophy, including the meaning of existence, the nature of the self, authenticity and inauthenticity, the inescapability of death, the experience of time, anxiety, absurdity, freedom and responsibility to others. It will be examined why these philosophical ideas often seem to demand literary expression or bear a close relation to literary works. Readings may include writings by Kierkegaard, Nietzsche, Dostoevsky, Heidegger, Rilke, Kafka, Simmel, Jaspers, Buber, Sartre, de Beauvoir, Camus, and Daoud.

Spring 2024
Lunar Poetics: Lucian to Kepler and Beyond AS.213.427 (01)
When the German astronomer Johannes Kepler in his famous "Somnium" (1608) creates a fictitious dream narrative in which the earth is observed from the moon, it becomes clear that the shift from the geocentric to the heliocentric worldview entails a radical change of perspective that can be achieved only by means of the imagination. What appears as a sunrise is in reality due to the earth's own movement. Where appearance and reality diverge, the new model requires a fictional account without which it remains incomprehensible. Orbiting around Kepler’s short tale, this seminar will focus on cosmic narratives and poetic explorations of outer space, from Lucian's True Stories and Icaromenippus (2nd century CE), one of the earliest literary treatments of a journey through space, Plutarch’s dialogue On the face of the Moon (late 1st century CE), to Godwin's The Man in the Moone (1638) and Kant's »Of the Inhabitants of the Stars« (1755). What is the epistemic function of literary representations of the cosmos? Are space-travel narratives thought experiments? What role does fiction and the imagination play in the science of astronomy? By pursuing these and related questions, this course will question common assumptions about the relationship of science to fiction and the literary imagination while tracing key junctures in the history of astronomy.

Animals and Animality in Literature and Philosophy AS.213.460 (01)
This course critically engages the presentation and imagination of animals and other non-human life in modern literature, philosophy, and thought.

The course is ideal for students interested in fascinating themes in literature and how they reflect philosophical concerns. No prior courses in philosophy are required. Students will read philosophical texts alongside literary works in learning the conceptual history of animals and of humanity as a distinct species. Expect fascinating readings and engaging, lively discussions.

Habit and Habitation: On Walter Benjamin's Media Aesthetics and Philosophy of Technology AS.213.605 (01)
In recent years, Walter Benjamin has become one of the most quoted media theorists. His philosophy of technology is not as widely known as the concept of aura he developed in his essay "The Work of Art in the Age of Its Technological Reproducibility." The contemporary relevance of his philosophy of technology lies in the fact that Benjamin establishes a connection between technology and different forms of habitation, and between the latter and the concept of habit (Gewohnheit), which is etymologically related to the concept of habitation (Wohnen). This enables a comparison of Benjamin's approach with the philosophies of technology developed by Heidegger, Deleuze/Guattari, and Simondon, all of whom associate technology with the shaping of environments and the problem of poses. In our seminar, we will reconstruct Benjamin's media anthropology of technology through a close reading of his diaries and essays and compare it to philosophies of technology very much being discussed today.

Spring 2024
Materiality of German Literature: The Long 20th Century AS.213.632 (01)
This course surveys the history of twentieth-century German literature through the lens of textual materiality. Reading both canonical and lesser known works, we will consider how material circumstances of textual production, circulation, and consumption inform and are entangled within formal, stylistic, semantic, and political dimensions of literature. In some cases, authors explicitly experimented with the writing process and/or visual/typographic form. In others, authors’ aesthetic and poetological programs extended into the material design of their books. We will also examine writer-artist collaborations and graphic novel adaptations of literary works. The course thus combines literary criticism with textual criticism, hermeneutic with materialist approaches. Much of the material we will examine is housed in the Sheridan Library Special Collections, where numerous class sessions will take place. Works by writers/artists such as Stephan George, Else Lasker-Schüler, Kurt Schwitters, Paul Celan, Eugen Gomringer, Dieter Roth, the Vienna Group, the Rixdorfer Workshop, Günter Grass, Herta Müller, Yoko Tawada, Nicolas Mahler, and Veronika Schaepers, among others. The majority of readings in German will also be available in English translation.

Secret Societies: Goethe’s Wilhelm Meister Lehrjahre AS.213.339 (01)
Taught in German. Goethe’s novel is among the most influential in the German tradition and established the genre of the Bildungsroman. Although the novel is often considered a tale of personal formation and social integration, the reverse of this statement is true as well. Wilhelm Meister is a novel of splintered relations and social disintegration, as even the best laid plans are disrupted by unexpected circumstances and uncontrollable desires. We will read the entire novel in German over the semester with an eye toward the motif of theater and the question of puppets, puppet masters, and invisible hands, especially as thematized in the mysterious Turmgesellschaft introduced at the novel’s conclusion.

What Is Called Thinking AS.213.642 (01)
The privilege of thinking has faced two challenges in recent years. The advent of artificial intelligence has called into question how unique thinking is when cognition can easily be mimicked, if not (re)produced, in machines through statistical models of language. An equally prevalent, if opposing, development in critical theory is the expansion of thought to include all purposeful action, such as the spreading of information among trees regarding available resources. The first half of the semester will be devoted to the definition of thinking offered by Aristotle and its interpretation in selected texts by Fichte, Hegel, and Marx. The second half will consider the surge of interest in automatons in romantic literature (Novalis, Hoffmann, Kleist and Poe) and culminating in Kafka’s “Report to an Academy.
