Description:

Prerequisite(s): PH 101 or instructor's permission Explores dimensions of man's life within an existential framework which is plagued by ambiguity, emptiness and absurdity. Seeks the meaningfulness and authenticity of man's spiritual being. Examines thinkers who argue that meaning can be found only within the framework of man's finitude, and thinkers who look for a transcendent grounding for man's existence, for example, in God. Draws on such existential writers as Kierkegaard, Dostoyevski, Nietzsche, Heidegger, Marcel, Jaspers, Sartre, Camus, Buber and Tillich.
