PHIL 150: Existential Group

2 Cr
Quarters: O
An intensive, experiential course that explores, on both a personal and impersonal level, how themes in the writings of existentialist philosophers such as Beckett, Buber, Camus, de Beauvoir, Dostoyevsky, Kafka, Kierkegaard, Heidegger, Nietzsche, and Sartre pertain to the lifestyles, attitudes, and actions of class participants. The course entails interacting in a group format and making presentations. The group interactions are often interpersonal encounters rather than ones involving only abstract discussion. Attendance and weekly reading and writing assignments are all required.
Prerequisite: One course in Philosophy and permission of instructor.
