Course Requirements

There will be three 5-7 page papers. (These limits are ballpark figures. Don't stretch a paper to reach the limit. On the upper hand, don't worry about going over slightly.) There also will be occasional assignments of reflections papers, etc., on the readings. In addition, I expect you to attend classes, keep up with the readings, and contribute to classroom discussion. Your final grade will be based upon all of these factors.

Required Texts

Kierkegaard, Fear and Trembling
Sartre, Nausea
Sartre, No Exit and Three Other Plays
Sartre, Being and Nothingness
Camus, The Myth of Sisyphus
de Beauvoir, The Second Sex
Fanon, Black Skins, White Masks

These books are all available at the Odyssey Bookshop. In addition, I have placed one copy of each on reserve in the library.

Other readings are available through Electronic Reserves (ER)
