Over the last few centuries, existentialist thinkers have created some of the greatest works of philosophy and literature Western civilization has ever seen. Examine the major figures of existentialism, including Dostoyevsky, Camus, Sartre, Beauvoir, Kierkegaard, and Nietzsche, through their literary rather than philosophical writings. Each session includes an introduction that provides the philosophical background of the philosopher- writer, a section on the basic existential concepts covered in the reading, and significant questions.
