PHIL 2330 - Phenomenology and Existentialism I

3 hours

Prerequisites: ENGL 1101 with a grade of “C-” or better or Permission of Instructor
Can we ever have the same experience as someone else? Is consciousness radically private or do we often reach a “meeting of the minds”? Who am I really, and what is the meaning of my life? This course provides students with an exploration of the phenomenological movement and the existentialist tradition through the themes of consciousness, subjectivity, experience, meaning, authenticity, absurdity, and anxiety. Figures may include Kierkegaard, Nietzsche, Heidegger, Beauvoir, and others.
