I did that, went to most of the lectures and seminars, got an ok pass grade (might have been a 2.2 or thereabouts), yet I don't remember a single thing about it. I remember the content of most of my other philosophy courses, but this one is just one big black hole. Could you explain why?

gah, just get enough beakers later than you won't need philosophy. It is not like philosopy lead to gunpowder anyway.....uh.....

If you don't examine your own philosophy, what use is a philosophy degree except to perpetuate a system of hot air and reputation?

Anything with Foucault in it is suspect.

I've noticed over time you have reservations with philosophy on the continental side... unfortunately the philosophy offerings at my uni are limited... I chose the uni for its superior public policy courses... which I didn't end up paying much interest to... so I'm kinda kicking myself. Thinking of going to another uni next year to do an MA...
