PHIL 315 - Existentialism

Institution:

Sonoma State University

Subject:

Description:

Existentialism points to the philosophical significance of human existence itself: to do philosophy means to take oneself seriously as an embodied, finite subject, existing in the world and relating to other subjects. Existentialist thought is both a historical movement in philosophy and a methodology of philosophy. In this class, we will read several prominent existentialist philosophers and examine relevant themes such as the ethics of ambiguity, anxiety and dread, passion and desire, subjectivity and intersubjectivity, finitude and the divine, freedom and choice.
