Course contents :  
The course will approach this year the question of the emotion, envisaged from the phenomenological conception proposed by Sartre in the Sketch for a theory of the emotions. It will be a question, 1) to make a genealogy of the French phenomenology in itsconnections with the French anthropology (the emotion as magic), 2) of encircling on this base the sense of the emotion, defined not as flight or escape, but as the experience which the consciousness makes of itself when it deploys in the world (the emotion as finished consciousness and negativity), 3) to show certain possible developments of this theory.
Learning outcomes of the course :  
The development of the course will put a particular care of considering questions of method of teaching reading of a philosophic text. It will be a question, 1) to elaborate certain ways of reading the Sketch for a theory of the emotions, 2) of defining on this base what can mean a philosophic reading of a text of philosophy, 3) to put in to the test these reflections of method in a personal work.
Mode of delivery (face-to-face ; distance-learning) :  
See : http://cipl82.philo.ulg.ac.be/horaires
Assessment methods and criteria :  
The students will realize a written work which will have to give evidence of their capacity to report the outcomes of the course and to put the notion into question. This work will be based on a confrontation between the Sketch and a text/an author against which/whom Sartre built his own theory of the emotions. An indicative list will be given during the first lessons.
The work will make between 10 and 15 pages.
Organizational remarks :  
The course will be organized between November, 2011 and March, 2012.
