Average Course Rating

(-1)

In this class we will be reading several authors that have been labeled existentialist: Dostoevsky, Nietzsche, Heidegger, Buber, Musil, Sartre, and Beauvoir. We’ll also watch movies with existentialist messages: Harold and Maude; The Trial; Cat on a hot tin roof; Easy Rider. We will try to understand what the existentialist angle on life is, and whether it is applicable to the 21st Century.
