Preliminary Requirements:

Knowledge of the history of modern philosophy; basic knowledge of ontology and theory of knowledge
Short description:

Level of course: basic.

Objectives of the course: The subject of the lecture is related to the presentation of the main thinkers, currents, schools, philosophical directions in the present time. The presentation will be made by emphasizing the main philosophical problems (their starting points and consequences) important in a given period of philosophy and at the same time unchanging for all its development.

Prerequisites: knowledge of the history of ancient, medieval and modern philosophy.
Full description:

The purpose of the course is to present the mainstream, selected currents in contemporary philosophy, to define their sources and to indicate the links within contemporary philosophical thought. The main theses, methods and representatives of such currents as neo-avant-garde, analytical philosophy, phenomenology, hermeneutics, existentialism, Marxism, poststructuralism and pragmatism are planned. The closer objective of the course is to assimilate the main ideas and concepts characteristic of the selected disciplines of contemporary philosophy. Another aim is to try to embrace contemporary philosophy as a pluralistic intellectual movement that grows out of the collapse of Hegelianism and presents an inconceivable narrative about the world and man. Despite the heteronomy of these narratives, they engage in mutual dialogue or criticism. Accordingly, the lecture serves to show the tangent points of various philosophical traditions, their interpenetration and possible influences.

consultations: 10

exam preparation: 20

HOURS HOURS: 150 [150: 30 = 5]

NUMBER OF ECTS: 5
Assessment methods and assessment criteria:

EXAM AND DATE: Verification of knowledge and skills acquired during the course takes place in the form of a written exam (test questions) covering the material presented during the lecture and contained in the indicated literature.

The following grading scale for the written exam is expected:

5.0 - 100 - 91% points

4.5 - 90 - 81% points

4.0 - 80 - 71% points

3.5 - 70 - 61% points

3.0 - 60 - 51% points

2.0 - 0 - 50% of points

2ND EXAMINATION: In the case of students who obtained a negative grade on the 1st date, the examination on the 2nd date will take the form of an oral examination covering the material included in the syllabus (drawing exam questions from the available pool). Students who did not take the exam on the first date will take the exam on the second date according to the rules of the first date (written examination).

In the case of exercise classes: work with text and activation methods: talk, group work. During subsequent classes, students will become acquainted with further texts important for understanding the changes in contemporary philosophy. Working with the text involves identifying the main concepts for a given philosophical trend or author, indicating the basic features of the method used and possibly summarizing selected fragments of the works discussed.

The final grade of training classes is influenced by three elements:

1) Presence.

2) Assessment of the written test.

In the case of attendance (confirmed by an entry on the attendance list), the following scale applies:

1 absence - 5.0

2 absences - 4.0

3 absences - 3.0

4 or more absences - 2.0

The practical classes end with a written test in the form of a written test. Closed (80%) and open (20%) questions concern issues discussed during classes and texts covered during the course.

The final grade is the average of two grades, with attendance being 1/4 of the final grade and the written test 3/4.
