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.
Prerequisite
One Philosophy course, or permission of the instructor.
