Module VPC-3409:
Cenedlaeth Crefydd Chymdeithaa

Module Facts

Run by School of History, Philosophy and Social Sciences

20.000 Credits or 10.000 ECTS Credits

Semester 2

Organiser: Dr Gareth Evans Jones Dr Gareth Evans Jones

Overall aims and purpose

Ceir yn y modiwl yma ddau brif fwriad sy’n mynd law yn llaw. Y cyntaf yw cyflwyno myfyrwyr i rai o brif feddylwyr a mudiadau athronyddol yr 20fed ganrif, gan astudio a dehongli eu prif egwyddorion. Yr ail yw edrych ar sut y derbyniwyd a dehonglwyd yr athroniaethau yma gan feddylwyr yng Nghymru. Nod pellach i’r modiwl yw galluogi’r myfyrwyr i ddadansoddi a chloriannu os, neu ym mha ffyrdd, y mae athroniaeth yr 20fed ganrif wedi ei chymhwyso at y cyd-destun Cymreig.

Course content

Mae’r modiwl yma’n trafod a dadansoddi sawl ysgol orllewinol o feddwl athroniaeth ers troad yr 20fed ganrif gan gynnwys delfrydiaeth Brydeinig, athroniaeth Wittgensteinaidd a dirfodaeth. Fe fydd myfyrwyr yn derbyn cyflwyniad cyffredinol i’r athroniaethau yma ac yn canolbwyntio ar rai o’r prif feddylwyr, yn ogystal ag astudio’r athronwyr ‘Cymreig’ sydd wedi bod yn lladmeryddion iddynt, neu wedi cymhwyso rhai o’r prif syniadau i’w priod bynciau eu hunain - megis crefydd a chenedlaetholdeb. Ceir cyfle hefyd i ystyried syniadaeth gyfredol megis ôl-foderniaeth ac ôl-wladychiaeth a’u harwyddocâd i ni’r Cymry cyfoes. Fe fydd gan fyfyrwyr felly’r cyfle unigryw o astudio rhai o’r syniadau mwyaf dylanwadol yn hanes diweddar y gorllewin wrth ystyried yn ogystal eu dylanwad ar y meddwl Cymreig.

  4. Myfyrio a damcaniaethu ynghylch y modd y mae’r syniadau a drafodir yn berthnasol heddiw, ac i ba raddau y gall datblygiadau mwy diweddar yn athroniaeth ein cynorthwyo wrth feddwl am y Cymry cyfoes.
