The aim of the lecture is to introduce students to the main issues of early modern philosophy (from the 17th to the early 19th century), which are in many ways key to our contemporary understanding of nature, humanity, and its place in the world.
The lecture will focus on following topics: 1) epistemology (rationalism, empiricism, Kant), 2) ethics (Locke, Hume, Kant) 3) religion (natural religion and Revelation, the concept of God) 4) the question of evil (Leibniz, Kant) 5) political philosophy (social contract theory and its critique) 6) history as the process of emancipation (Kant, Herder, Hegel) 7) language (Bacon, Locke, Herder) Poslední úprava: Navrátilová Olga, Mgr. et Mgr., Ph.D. (03.02.2026)
