During the European eighteenth century, also known as the "Century of Lights", or the Enlightenment, the philosophical consequences of the scientific vision (or reading) of nature, of the Cartesian constitution of the subject of certainty and an ideal of knowledge that is opposed to the darkness of the metaphysical Universe or of pure and simple obscurantism. We will first examine the empiricist development of these premises, which makes intelligence an instrument of mastery of nature and politics, and culminates in the work of David Hume. Then we will study the rationalist path, represented in the 18th century by the work of Jean-Jacques Rousseau, who starts from a possible a priori knowledge of man's being, from the place where he would be in an ideal nature. The two ways come to converge in the work of Immanuel Kant, where the intellectual endeavor of the Enlightenment is culminated and synthesized. After him, still in the eighteenth century, a unifying thought begins with what Kant had separated in his critical work, the law of nature and the imperative of freedom.
The training objective of this subject is to achieve a simultaneous historical and conceptual characterization of the philosophy of the century of the Lights.
Classes are organized around the professor's exhibitions, with space for questions and debates with the participation of students.
Students work from the exhibitions and the recommended bibliography.
In personalized attention, students can make questions, ask for clarifications or extensions of the bibliography.
Annotation: Within the schedule set by the centre or degree programme, 15 minutes of one class will be reserved for students to evaluate their lecturers and their courses or modules through questionnaires.

The evaluation of the subject will consist of the delivery of one philosophical paper (45%) and the final exam (55%). The requirement of the paper will be indicated at the beginning of the course.
Students who have not submitted their paper will be non-assessable and must take the resitting exam directly.
Any work that is not submitted on the set date will not be accepted. Any indication of plagiarism will be penalized with a 0 in the activity presented.
In order to take the resitting exam, you must have taken a minimum of 3.5 out of 10 points.
In the event that tests or exams cannot be taken onsite, they will be adapted to an online format made available through the UAB’s virtual tools (original weighting will be maintained). Homework, activities and class participation will be carried out through forums, wikis and/or discussion on Teams, etc. Lecturers will ensure that students are able to access these virtual tools, or will offer them feasible alternatives.
In the event of a student committing any irregularity that may lead to a significant variation in the grade awarded to an assessment activity, the student will be given a zero for this activity, regardless of any disciplinary process that may take place. In the event of several irregularities in assessment activities of the same subject, the student will be given a zero as the final grade for this subject.
