SPH 359 - Phenomenology And Existentialism

Institution:

Marylhurst University

Subject:

Description:

This course begins with the assumption that the meaning of existence is not exhausted in a conceptual definition. Existentialist thought draws upon feelings and other varieties of non-conceptual experience in order to get to meaning. This places it in a tense relationship with phenomenology, which is originally concerned with a conceptual approach to conceptual thinking. Students will explore this relationship through texts by Husserl, Heidegger, and Sartre. Meets LAC outcome: AIC2. 3 crs.
