Discussing a range of texts and excerpts from the English, German and French Enlightenment (the latter in English translation), the seminar will illuminate the close ties between literature and philosophy in Enlightenment writing. We will discuss texts by Jonathan Swift, Edmund Burke, Lessing/Mendelssohn, Rousseau, Samuel Johnson, Sterne, Voltaire, Mary Wollstonecraft as well as Kant. A reader containing an initial selection of texts will be made available electronically in early April. |
