Love, Marriage and Philosophy – Upper Level Undergraduate Course

In this course we will examine the works and personal lives of John Stuart Mill, Harriet Taylor, John Paul Sartre and Simone De Beauvior. We will take a close look at how these thinkers–two of them British and two of them French (both of them couples)–lived, thought, worked, did philosophy and how their work has influenced contemporary culture. We will look at how different yet similar forms of relationships shaped the course of Modern History. We will discuss singular texts associated with each thinker and discuss these texts.
