Course Description

This  course is a critical exploration of the writings of some of the key figures associated  with the movement in philosophy, theology and literary criticism known as Existentialism. The course examines the work  of Søren Kierkegaard  alongside that of thinkers such as, Martin Heidegger, Fredrick Nietzsche, and Jean-Paul Sartre.

The course will be particularly focused on how the major themes of Existentialism intersect with religious  and theological concerns at many crucial points. Thus special attention will be given to topics such as guilt, faith, decision, self-consciousness, responsibility, fear, being,  death and many others.
