Goals	Contemporary philosophy I and II courses focus on the new thinking experience in 20th century philosophy in which understanding is primordially to be recognized as the mode of being instead of as mode of knowing.
Course Content	To understand this radical transformation, the main streams of movements of 20th century philosophy (phenomenology, existentialism, and hermeneutics) and thoughts of their leading representatives (Husserl, Heidegger, Sartre, Merleau-Ponty, Gadamer, Ricoeur, Levinas, and Derrida) will be studied.
Learning Outcomes	1) Demonstrate knowledge of some major philosophers and schools of thoughts. 2) Demonstrate knowledge of the main concepts in philosophy, including definition of the concepts. 3) Demonstrate scientific and technological knowledge about historical periods; knowledge of examples of philosophical explanation taken from such sources as philosophical and scientific texts. 4) Demonstrate knowledge of a variety of methods of philosophical inquiry. 5) Identify assumptions that underlie theories, arguments, and positions in selected writings. 6) Demonstrate knowledge of terminology and main techniques used in formal and informal logic. 7) Demonstrate imaginative, creative, and reflective abilities by articulating philosophical insights. 8) Demonstrate increased use of reasoned argument to support their own positions.
