Outline (in English)

We read La Découverte du quotidien by French philosopher and novelist Bruce Bégout. Philosophy has long excluded the question of "daily life" from consideration. The work examines the hidden nature of everydayness, mainly from a phenomenological perspective. The author rescues the essence of "daily life" from negative images such as banality, boredom, or Verfallenheit, and in criticizing the naive praise of daily life, he attempts to elucidate its temporality as a dynamic and creative process. Through a close reading, we try to understand the fundamental temporality of our lives.
Evaluation is based on class presentation and participation (70%) and end-of-term reports (30%).
