CSP 64 Existentialism: Literature and Philosophy
Existentialism is a philosophy that affirms human freedom and moral choice in a world that often seems devoid of transcendental meaning or purpose. In this course we will read literary texts from the Algerian, Argentine, French, German, and Russian existentialist traditions, and will explore the structures and possibilities of consciousness, knowledge, desire, imagination, aesthetics, ethics, and political commitment.
