PHIL 328 - Existentialist Phenomenology

3 Credit Hours
This course examines the origins of the rigorous description of existential phenomena - including perception, knowledge, passivity, the body, finitude, death, and intersubjectivity - in the early 20th century phenomenological tradition of its founder Edmund Husserl and his student Martin Heidegger. Then the mid-20th century French existentialist appropriation of these phenomenological themes will be critically studied in some of the shorter works of, among others, Jean-Paul Sartre and Maurice Merleau-Ponty.
