PHIL 574 - Sartre: Being & Nothingness

Institution:

Duquesne University

Subject:

PHIL - Philosophy

Description:

The object of this course is to develop a critical comprehension of Sartre's phenomenological approach to the theme of under- standing human beings. Being and Nothingness, the major work in which Sartre presented his ontological theory of consciousness in bad faith, will be the central text. Sartre's earlier writings on the transcendence of the ego, on emotions, and on imagination will be carefully considered as background material for his major work.
