This course examines how the idea of "the modern" develops at the end of the 18th century in European philosophy and literature, and how being modern (or progressive, or hip) became one of the crucial criteria for understanding and evaluating cultural change. Are we still in modernity, or have we moved beyond the modern to the postmodern?

Great Course. Enjoying it, expanding my knowledge and thinking. Taking my time and repeat most of the lectures.
A very good way to start thinking about our times. I learned a lot about authors and reflected much during the course. Was really worth every class!
The course is ultimately wonderful to comprehend a unique insight into the literary traits of the PostModern Era. Thanks a lot .
Phenomenal instructor, great material, and I loved the reading. This was a challenging course, and that's needed more in online courses like this. Changed the way I look at the world.
