This is bullshit, btw. You should point out to the teacher that analyzing the philosophies found within a novel is not philosophy of literature, but literature of philosophy.

If you were to think about the role of literature that is implied in Rowling's attempts to portray a goody-2-shoes mode of 'tolerance' in the Harry Potter books, that would arguably be philosophy of literature, but the philosophical content of the novel as such is not.

Stewart, Earth Abides (1949) Richard Matheson, I Am Legend (1954) Nevil Shute, On the Beach (1957) J. G.

Reading for the first session is Robert Silverberg’s short introduction (“Dancing Through the Apocalypse,” 2010) and Arthur C. Clarke’s “If I Forget Thee O Earth …” (1951), both from the anthology. "

How watered-down are these introduction to philosophy courses? I'm going to be going to college in a year and a half and I'm genuinely worried about being bored to tears by these classes.

I've already read Descartes, Hume, and Kant; I don't think I could stomach a lecture that starts with the words "Philosophy is concerned with fundamental questions like blah blah blah." It'd either bore me to tears or make me look like a pretentious tryhard when I participate in class discussions/answer questions.

Is there any way to circumvent the introductory courses and get into something more specific (e.g. a course on Enlightenment philosophy) freshman year?

>> No.3364913

>>3364848
Please tell me you are a freshman

>> No.3364916 [DELETED] 

>>3364902
yes you can circumvent it and here is how: talk to the professors. Seriously. Talk to them. I got out of intro art history courses in my freshman year this way because I was able to explain my situation to the professor and demonstrate I knew what was up.

>> No.3364920

>>3364902
The course you have to take at my college in order to apply for the honors program is called Quest For Meaning, and it was essentially an Intro to Phil. class. It was actually really awesome. We read:
>Man's Search For Meaning by Viktor E. Frankl
>The Passion of the Western Mind by Richard Tarnas
>What's It All About? by Julian Baggini
>The Myth of Sisyphus by Albert Camus
>The Stranger by Albert Camus

Every night we were assigned reading. We'd come in the next day, take a quiz, and then spend the next two hours discussing the reading. It was fucking awesome. I really had a great time. But, I had a great professor and the class was full of bros, so that probably helped. Also, my university is on a block system, so I was only in the class for 3 1/2 weeks, which kept the pace up, which alleviated the boredom, I think.

This is what I'm worried about. But if it's something I have to do then I'll do it.

>>3364916
I think I'll give this a shot too. At least, it couldn't hurt. I could also easily scrounge up a letter of recommendation from my religion/philosophy teacher at school say that I know my shit.

Also: I get the impression that college works from general topics to more focused ones, is that correct? i.e. I'd be studying, say, Enlightenment philosophy freshman year but if I pursued a doctorate I'd be studying the work of Hume, in depth, almost exclusively?

Just trying to get a feel for how things work there.

struggling on a title so the oh so broad 'the city in literature' will have to do

more specifically:

surreal cityscapes (aragon, breton)
objectified bodies (mainly j.g. ballard)
psychogeographies (baudelaire, poe's 'man in the crowd', maybe iain sinclair's london orbital)

using theory by benjamin, lefebvre and debord

it'll probably change slightly with different works used once i read more and in all likelihood one of the chapters will probably be chopped or merged

maybe merge the ballard + psychogeography
