PHI 217 - Existentialism

Description
Existentialism is a label for a loose grouping of writers who investigate the personal and individual nature of our relation to the world and to others. They focus especially on questions about truth, commitment, responsibility, freedom, and death. This class surveys some key texts in the existentialist tradition and traces the emergence of existentialist concerns in the history of philosophical thought.
