Synopsis

The message of Existentialism is about as simple as can be. It is that every one of us is responsible"responsible for what we do and responsible for whom we are. If you want to enrich your own understanding of this philosophical movement, the thinkers it brought together, and the prominent role it still plays in contemporary thought, you can do so with this 24-lecture course. Professor Solomon, the Quincy Lee Centennial Professor of Business and Philosophy at The University of Texas at Austin, explores the religious Existentialism of Kierkegaard; hear the warrior rhetoric and often-shocking claims about religion and morality of Nietzsche; absorb the bold and profound fiction of Camus; comprehend the radical and uncompromising notion of freedom championed by Sartre; and consider the searching analysis of human historicity and finitude offered by Martin Heidegger. YouÍll see how these profound thinkers relate to one another _ and to the larger tradition of philosophy itself
