Pol Phil after 1968

Traces developments in philosophy and social theory after 1968, when the form of labor and capital’s relation changed radically (through offshoring and automation) by reading widely in critical philosophy of race, feminist philosophy, and queer philosophy. It examines the variety of new, competing, liberationist accounts that foreground race, gender, and sexuality, investigating how these identitarian movements variously changed, enriched, or nullified the anti-capitalist impetus of classical Marxism. Instructor consent required. Prerequisite(s): PHIL 9; one course from PHIL 11 or PHIL 22 or PHIL 23 or PHIL 24 or PHIL 80E or BME 80G/PHIL 80G or PHIL 80M or PHIL 80S; and PHIL 100A or PHIL 100B or PHIL 100C.
