Indian
Philosophy
The course (2 hours per week
during 2 semesters) is optional, it is part od the undergraduate study
programe, and is being delivered on two levels: one, consisting of
introductory lectures by which acquaintance is provided with the main
philosophical problems of the archaic, classic and modern schools of Indian
philosophy, both in historical and systematic perspective. The other aspect
consists of presenting seminar projects by advanced students, and serves as
an approach to the study of selected philosophical texts. On both levels, the
course is oriented towards reflecting methodological aspects of
comparativism, in its positive and critical aspects. A greate importance is
being payed to the mode of teaching viz. learning during the course. The
lecturer addresses the participants of the course constantly, insisting on
their con-current reading of selected primary and secondary literature, on
asking questions during the course but also on reflecting their own
questions. For a more detaild description
of the subject see the official web pages of the Department of Philosophy

with further links to exam literature and syllabi for actual courses.
