EXISTENTIALISM

Announcements

5/11

I will be reviewing material on Heidegger, Sartre and Camus this week.

Heidegger: In-class on Monday at the normal time.

Sartre (and Camus): 2-3 p.m. on Wednesday (Reading Day) in Bartlett 301.

After the reviews, I will post the slideshows. In preparation for the final, you should look over the notes previously posted on Kierkegaard and Nietzsche as well.

Final Paper Option. As I said in class last week, you have the option of writing a third paper (8-10 pages) instead of taking the final. The topic of this paper is open. You must get a proposal approved by me by the end of the day this Wednesday. I expect you to discuss an issue that touches on three of the five philosophers we read (Kierkegaard, Nietzsche, Heidegger, Sartre, Camus). You need to find relevant passages in their writings.
