PL298 Special Topics in Philosophy
A 3.0 8:30-11:30AM -MTWRF- WLIB W065 Yorton, B
Description: An advanced course focusing on an ethical, epistemological, or
metaphysical
issue of interest. Since the content of the course will vary,
students may
repeat the course with the consent of the instructor.
This course explores the devotional writings of Soren Kierkegaard,
renowned Danish
philosopher, existentialist, literary figure, social critic, and
religious
writer. These moving works were written with the expressed
intention of the
moral and spiritual edification ("uplifting") of his reader. They
present
major themes of his thought with a prayerful attitude and within
the
framework of scriptural and theological meditation. Yet they also
retain
his subtle humor, profound sense of irony, and propensity to "wound
from
behind." Thus, our careful study of these works will not only
introduce
many of Kierkegaard's important and widely influential
philosophical themes,
but also pose deep spiritual challenges, providing an opportunity
for
encouragement and edification in the quest for an authentic
Christian
existence.
