Description

Through a historical study and conceptual analysis of the idea, this module aims to achieve a clearer understanding of what we and others mean by culture, how the term operates differently in different discourses. It will explore various philosophical views regarding the possibility, preconditions, and methods for intercultural encounters and understanding, and the relevance of culture for philosophizing. Selected issues in specific philosophical areas, in which culture plays a major role, may also be included
