PHL 371 - Existentialism

Three Credits
Not Offered 2017-2018

The Existentialist thinkers of the 20th Century vigorously protested the abstraction and sterility of certain kinds of philosophical and theological discourse and demanded that we confront the life and death, flesh and blood issues of our existence. The course will examine the sources of their existential protest in the thought of the 19th Century thinkers Nietzsche and Kierkegaard and progress through a discussion of the major figures and works in the Existentialist movement of the 20th Century.

Prerequisite(s)/Restriction(s): One 100-Level Philosophy course.
