Centre
for Phenomenological Studies
Invites you for a
One-month’s
Foundation Course in Husserl's Phenomenology
in the Gurukula System of Education
for
students and research scholars in philosophy and allied
disciplines
from
01 October to
31 October 2017
at
Sri Aurobindo Center for Advanced Research, Pondicherry
The course aims
to provide a comprehensive training in phenomenological themes focusing on the
works of Edmund Husserl. The course will impart necessary skills and knowledge
in phenomenology to undertake research in the area of existentialism, critical
theory, postmodernism, consciousness studies, philosophy of mind and other
contemporary schools of thought including phenomenology of religion, theology
and the like.
The course is modeled after the traditional Indian
Gurukula system of education, where the students engage in a rigorous study of
a philosophical tradition for an extended period of time under the guidance of
a competent teacher. Students will stay in an environment suitable for
reflective and meditative engagement with foundational texts to deepen their
understanding of the tradition.
In this ‘Gurukula’ mode of learning, we have designed
each module with theoretical and practical components to make learning
enjoyable and interactive. There are six modules for this course as follows:
Psychologism,
Meaning [Text: Logical Investigations]
Transcendental
Phenomenology, Consciousness & Intentionality, Phenomenological Reductions,
Noesis-Noema correlation [Text: Ideas-I]
Constitution
of the world [Text: Ideas-II]
Phenomenological
perspective of intersubjectivity [Text: Cartesian Meditations]
Life-world [Text: Crisis of European Sciences]
Time
Consciousness [Text: Phenomenology of
Internal Time Consciousness]
The
venue of the program will be Sri Aurobindo Center for Advanced Research (SACAR)
(www.sacar.in), a research institute in Pondicherry,
dedicated
to the study of Sri Aurobindo's thought and philosophy.
The
