Poslední úprava: Mgr. Marek Kettner (16.08.2023)
The students will be able to grasp some of the key ideas of the philosopher Nick Land who continues the tradition of philosophical critique of enlightenment and tries to present a new mode of philosophizing that is based on the idea of historical acceleration. We will expound Land’s core idea that the volume of changes in historical time is growing in an accelerating fashion and that this process is inevitably directed towards a catastrophe. Land’s students’ and co-workers’ ideas – such as those of Mark Fisher and Sadie Plant – will be also presented to the students in a critical fashion. The course will show in which ways the concept of catastrophe can be conceptualized in contemporary philosophy. |
