Learning outcomes

I believe that the différence sexuelle is very important in the life of the mind. The thought of sexual difference is a new and original perspective, open by feminist thinking, in the horizon of contemporary philosophy. At the end of the course the student must be able to demonstrate knowledge and understanding of the texts and judgment autonomy.

En partant de la conviction que la différence sexuelle compte pour beaucoup en ce que l’esprit fait, le cours vise à lire la philosophie à la lumière de la différence d’être femmes / hommes.
La pensée de la différence sexuelle est une perspective nouvelle et originale, ouverte par la pensée féministe, dans l’horizon de la philosophie contemporaine. À la fin du cours, l’étudiant(e) devra démontrer d’être en mesure de: connaître et comprendre les textes choisis; rendre raison de sa pensée.

Program

Contemporary feminine mysticism
The course examines the contribution of some mystical authors to contemporary thought. While in the philosophy of the past the contribution of female thinkers was small, in the field of mystical knowledge the female contribution was always significant.
The program is as follows: 1. General presentation of female mysticism (introductory part)
2. Commentary and partial reading of the texts by Simone Weil, Etty Hillesum, Adrienne von Speyr.

La mystique féminine contemporaine
Le cours se penche sur la contribution de quelques autrices mystiques à la pensée contemporaine. Pendant que dans la philosophie du passé la contribution de femmes penseuses a été exiguë, dans le domaine du savoir mystique l’apport féminin a été toujours considérable.
En résumé, le programme est le suivant :
1. Présentation général de la mystique féminine (partie introductive) ;
2. Commentaire et lecture des textes de Simone Weil, Etty Hillesum, Adrienne von Speyr.
