授業の概要と目的（何を学ぶか）Outline and objectives
Existentialism is a branch of philosophy that confronts some of the most problematic aspects of existence. These include the value of freedom and rationality, whether living an authentic life is achievable, whether life can be meaningful, the nature of absurdity, whether modern life is nihilistic, and the role of emotions in ethics. This course is an in-depth exploration of several themes from existentialist thought. This course focuses on the philosophical writings of Fyodor Dostoevsky, Albert Camus, Søren Kierkegaard, Friedrich Nietzsche, Jean-Paul Sartre, Simone de Beauvoir, and Iris Murdoch.
到達目標Goal
This course has four primary learning goals. First, students will learn about various and diverging views on the philosophy of existentialism. Second, students will improve critical thinking skills when engaging with abstract reasoning. Third, students will improve their reading skills when confronting nuanced and challenging philosophical and literary texts. Finally, students will improve their writing skills to communicate complex ideas clearly and confidently.

Each meeting will include an interactive lecture with slides and a discussion period. The lectures will occupy roughly one hour of each meeting. The nature of the discussion period will change based on whether a homework assignment is due the following week. On weeks when a homework assignment is due the following week, students will work in small groups to discuss the assignment prompt. On weeks when there is no homework assignment due the following week, class-wide discussions or debates will follow the lecture. Students will receive feedback from the instructor on homework assignments and the final exam via the online Learning Management System.
