Daniel Whiting
For the 20201/21 academic year, my teaching includes:
Knowledge and Mind
A course for first year undergraduates on the history of philosophy, focusing on the metaphysical and epistemological views of early modern rationalists. The philosophers we will look at include Descartes, Elisabeth of Bohemia, Malebranche, Cavendish, Spinoza, and Leibniz.
Aesthetics
A course for second year undergraduates on aesthetics - of course! - and philosophy of art. We will look at such topics as: style; narrative; art as a source of knowledge; aesthetic testimony; the ethical criticism of art; musical expression; and the paradox of tragedy (and other kinds of "painful" art).
If you are enrolled on one of these modules, you can find information and resources on Blackboard.
