About this course
This course examines central figures, texts, and ideas within existential philosophy, with an emphasis on the fundamental ontological assumption held by all existentialists, namely the existentialists' rejection of rationalism and the idea that a metaphysical system can (or should) describe the world as containing determinate essences that confer univocal conceptual identities upon things, situations, and actions.
