In this course we will discuss a number of the themes that have come to be identified with the existential tradition in philosophy. Through our readings of philosophical and literary texts, we will encounter questions such as what what is the meaning or purpose of life, how do we live an authentic life with others, what is the source of our moral values, and, among many others, what does it mean to be free and responsible for our life?
