Course Description
Starting from 13 "doors," including "place," "people," and "language," we consider what it means to engage in "encounters" by exploring specific examples. "Philosophy" is one of these doors. "Encounters" have been an important theme in 20th-century philosophy. Meanwhile, 21st-century philosophy will likely center on "events." In this world, even the "self"—which should be the closest thing to you—becomes a partner in an "encounter" and the scene of an "event." We explore the meaning of this world with reference to texts, videos, and music.
