The course will present a survey of the major debates and attendant movements such as rationality, objectivity, universalism, ecosophy, racism, racialism, multiculturalism, liberalism, ethnicity, ethnocentrism, feminism, gender philosophy, and patriarchalism. The contributions of contemporary philosophical traditions of non-Western cultures to the formulation of issues and debates in recent philosophy will be seriously discussed.
