PHIL 28.03 20th Century Existentialism

This course studies the twentieth-century existentialist tradition of philosophy, focusing on questions about the nature of human existence, anxiety, authenticity, bad faith, freedom, responsibility, death, our relationship to others and to our own bodies, and features of our experience that arise in virtue of being racialized or gendered. Central philosophers in this tradition include Martin Heidegger, Jean-Paul Sartre, Simone de Beauvoir, and Franz Fanon, and we may also examine works of literature or film that illustrate these ideas.

It includes not only the meeting time and instructor, but also its official distributive and/or world culture designation. This information supersedes any information you may see elsewhere, to include what may appear in this ORC/Catalog or on a department/program website. Note that course attributes may change term to term therefore those in effect are those (only) during the term in which you enroll in the course.
