PHIL221 Modern Catholic Thinkers

10 cp
Prerequisites
10 cp from 100-level unit in Philosophy
Teaching Organisation 120 hours of focused learning.

This unit involves an examination of some of the key elements in the thought of a number of modern philosophers who can broadly be described as 'Catholic Thinkers'. The philosophers concerned will be chosen from the following: John Henry Newman, Jacques Maritain, Gabriel Marcel, Bernard Lonergan, Edith Stein, Simone Weil, Elizabeth Anscombe, Charles Taylor and Alasdair MacIntyre. Attention will be paid not only to the contributions which these thinkers have made to the Catholic intellectual tradition, but also to the contributions they have made to the wider tradition of Western philosophy and culture.
