PHIL314 - Becoming an Individual |
|||||||||
| Coordinator(s) | Frances Gray (fgray@une.edu.au) | |||||||||
| Unit Description |
This unit is an in depth philosophical examination of conceptions of the individual in the work of Carl Jung and Luce Irigaray. The unit aims to introduce students to how Jung and Irigaray conceive of the individual as a self who becomes. It also aims to assess their contribution to the ethics of individuation, viz the notion that the process of becoming an individual is profoundly ethical. It critiques Jung's notions of individuation and the feminine in light of Irigaray's work around the development of a feminine symbolic underpinning a feminine self. |
