HU 434 - Existentialism

3 lecture hours 0 lab hours 3 credits
Existentialism may be viewed more as a collection of diverse philosophical attitudes toward life and the human condition than a specific school of philosophical thought. In this course, students will study and critically evaluate the positions of selected writers and philosophers that are often called “existentialist”. Some topics that will be explored are questions of meaning and value in life, freedom and responsibility, issues of an “authentic existence” and similar existential themes in literature, drama, and philosophy. Students will be encouraged to explore their own personal and philosophical positions on the questions and issues.
