Comment:

Proofs for the existence of God. Brilliant lecturer and analyst of Descartes. Admits when his views are idiosyncratic and then works very hard to justify them. Course was entirely textually based - one can't accuse him of interpreting Kant, Leibniz, Descartes, etc. without having done extensive textual and historical research. Great class.

Comment:

He says that in France the more incomprehensible one is... the more brilliant one is perceived to be. If smoke and mirrors are your game, play on.

Comment:

High expectations shattered. The good news is you'll get a decent grade on a paper even if it is complete nonsense, since he, too, is BS-ing his way through this stuff.

great professor to take for Heidegger. Completely brilliant, hilarious and engaging. He practically begs students to go to his office hours. A little difficult on grading, but not unreasonably so.

I took Saturated Phenomenon. It was a good class, you really do need prior knowledge of Philosophy. Note..Visiting prof=can't be that hard.

Comment:

"saturated phenomenon". obviously brilliant at what he does. but i personally didn't see clear arguments (i.e. when he discussed davidson or austin! what?!). since i glimpse arguments in all my other phil classes, it's either extremely hard
