Existentialism: Cinematic, Literary, and Philosophical Perspectives

Catalog description

This course will introduce students to the viewpoint of existentialism as core and foundation of many of the most important experiences of our lives. In exploring exemplifications of, and investigations into, the existentialistic experience from the cinematic, the philosophical and the literary perspectives, the existential experience will unfold as essential to the drama, the philosophy and the story of our lives as those lives themselves unfold as acted through, reflected upon and confessed to oneself and to others. Core courses are not open to Freshmen or Sophomores, except for associate degree candidates.
