By the end of the module students will have gained an understanding of what is meant by a critical theory of society and familiarity with the core ideas of the critical theorists discussed. They will have developed their ability to engage with the arguments of these theorists and to articulate their own views relating to human freedom and the social conditions that would facilitate it. More generally, they will have developed their text-based hermeneutic, analytic and critical skills, as well as their ability to present in writing well-reasoned, textually sensitive and carefully presented critical discussions of key topics.
Please note: the learning outcomes for this module depend on in-class discussion. Thus, attendance and participation are essential to realizing its aims, in particular for the purpose of submitting an adequately resourced and focused essay and exam.
