The course presents a historically oriented overview of the motivations, concepts and problems of existentialism. Existentialist accounts of e.g. freedom, responsibility, authenticity, alienation, boredom and anguish are analyzed through close reading of excerpts from the works of the existentialist thinkers. The presuppositions and prospects of existentialism are problematized from a philosophical point of view througout the course.
