This course discusses some themes that are important in contemporary cultural philosophy, but also play a role in public debate today: identity, diversity, community, cosmopolitanism, pluralism, religion, and decoloniality are the central themes discussed. The course begins with the question of the role of imagination in bringing about thinking about and dealing with identity and diversity. The course shows that a purely Eurocentric view can no longer suffice to understand and do justice to the complexity of contemporary debates. Authors covered: Charles Taylor, Kwame Anthony Appiah, Walter Mignolo, Gloria Anzaldua, Fatima Mernissi, Boaventura de Sousa Santos and others.
