History of Contemporary Philosophy WF-FI-12-HFILW
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.

Working with the text consists in identifying the main concepts for a given philosophical current or author, indicating the basic features of the applied method and possibly summarizing selected fragments of the discussed works.
The final mark of the classes is influenced by two elements:
1) Presence.
2) Assessment from written colloquium.
In the case of presence (confirmed by an entry in the attendance list), the following scale applies:
15 presence - 5.0
14 attendance - 4.5
13 presence - 4.0
12 attendance - 3.5
11 attendance - 3.0
0-10 attendance - 2.0
Classes end with a written test in the form of a colloquium. Closed questions (80%) and open questions (20%) concern issues discussed during classes and texts processed during the course.
The final grade is the average of both grades, with the presence being 1/4 of the final grade, and the test being 3/4.
