c 19-20 course
hi all,
i'm currently trying to figure out what to do with an upper-level course on 19th and 20th century continental philosophy i'm revamping for the fall. the main problem is that i'm a little constrained by our rental system at WCU. students pay a fee each semester and are entitled to get the main course text for each course they take. so for most of our courses, we try to get some kind of anthology as the primary text. we can have the students buy supplementary texts, as well, but due to the economic constitution of our students, it's generally expected that these not run to more than a $40-50 addition.
my big problem is that i can't find a good anthology that i like. we've used the blackwell reader in the past, but i'm not super happy with the selections it includes. and then there's the kearney reader, but it doesn't look like what i'm after either. here's the way i'd like to structure the course:
4 units,
1 -- philosophy, history, and freedom (primarily hegel and marx)
2 -- technology and art (heidegger's technology and origin of the work of art essays)
3 -- god and man (mainly kierkegaard and nietzsche, but i wouldn't mind throwing in some hegel, marx, and feuerbach)
4 -- modern existentialism (sartre and de beauvoir)
one obvious solution would just be to excerpt small selections within copyright laws from a bunch of things and put them up as pdf's on my webpage, but i have found that our students tend to read less when they are forced to pull things off the web like that.
so, any suggestions for either a good anthology or a couple of anthologies that would capture a decent amount of this sort of stuff?
