Philosophie de l'histoire / Philosophy of History | Dominican University College

Philosophie de l'histoire / Philosophy of History​ (bilingue / bilingual)

Dans ce cours, les étudiant-es vont explorer la philosophie de l’histoire. Philosophiquement, l’histoire peut être conçue comme objet, comme science humaine, comme mode d’interprétation ou comme mode de construction. Les étudiant-es vont donc se familiariser avec plusieurs approches en philosophie de l’histoire que l’on rencontre dans bien des débats contemporains en philosophie et dans la sphère publique. Les étudiant-es parcourront ainsi l’approche spéculative, de Saint-Augustin à Hegel et ses critiques, Marx et Nietzsche; l’approche épistémologique, qui inclut les perspectives critique (R. Aron) et analytique (Hempel, Dray), l’approche narrativiste, qui considère l’entrecroisement de l’histoire et du récit (P. Ricoeur) et l’approche post-moderniste et post structuraliste (JF Lyotard, M. Foucault).
