PHL 290 - PII Existentialism
(Perspectives II course) Often conceived less as a philosophy and more
as a revolt against the traditional philosophy, existentialism, while
all but impossible to define, is pre-occupied with such themes as
the relation between the individual and society, the significance of
human choice, the significance of suffering in human life, the reality
of death and the relation between existence and absurdity. Readings
from such authors as Kierkegaard, Nietzsche, Heidegger, Sartre, Kafka,
Camus, and Dostoyevsky.

PHL 320 - PII Ancient Philosophy
(Perspectives II) There were two famous inscriptions at the Oracle of Delphi: ‘know
yourself’ and ‘nothing in excess’. In this course, we investigate the
significance of these sayings by exploring connections between them and
other Greek ideas: e.g., the idea of hubris (or excessive pride),
catharsis (purification or purgation), and sophrosune (one translation:
moderation). Readings from Hesiod, Aeschylus, Herodotus, Plato,
Aristotle, and others.
