Description

(formerly PHI 321)
This course explores the provocative, innovative and creatively diverse tradition of what came to be known as "the philosophy of human existence". Beginning with the founders of existential thought, Kierkegaard and Nietzsche, the course then turns to a variety of literary and artistic sources to explore the everyday reality and life practices of human freedom, individual choice, creativity, religious faith, self-determination and moral ambiguity.
