Full description:	This is a continuation of Philosophy 1. The lectures are intended for second-year BA students. The lectures introduce students to key thinkers and ideas in Western philosophy of the late 19th and the 20th centuries. The lectures cover main paradigms of modern philosophical thought, among them: psychoanalysis (Lacan and psychoanalytic feminism: Luce Irigaray and Julia Kristeva), post-Marxist philosophies (Frankfurt School – Adorno, Horkheimer, Benjamin, Marcuse; Birmingham Centre – Williams, Hall; and Gramsci, Bourdieu and Althusser), Michel Foucault, Jacques Derrida and deconstruction, and currently active thinkers, e.g. Slavoj Zizek. These lectures are intended to stimulate a better understanding of cultural studies and literary theory texts, and provide tools that are useful to study at the Institute of English Studies.
