This course is a stimulating and accessible discussion of how some of the greatest minds of the past three centuries have pondered the mysteries of existence and meaning. Join Professor Stephen A. Erickson as he guides you along the intellectual road traveled by post-Enlightenment thinkers such as Schopenhauer, Marx, Nietzsche, and Camus. This course requires no background in philosophy; you can comprehend what each philosopher has to say equipped only with your own intellect, curiosity, and fascination with the course's central questions. Lecture by lecture, you'll encounter some of the most inspirational minds Western civilization has produced.
