Section Information for Spring 2018
Existentialism is less of a philosophical movement than a philosophical attitude that can be expressed, in the words of Jean Paul Sartre, by the claim that ‘existence precedes essence’. This course will explore the work of 19th and 20th century thinkers who rigorously explore the human, moral, and metaphysical implications of this commitment and thus give this attitude its modern expression. Readings may include texts by such thinkers as Soren Kierkegaard, Friedrich Nietzsche, Miguel de Unamuno, Martin Buber, Sartre, Albert Camus or Simone de Beauvoir
