Philosophy as a Guide to Living is a thoughtful, stimulating, and most important, accessible discussion of how some of the greatest minds of the past three centuries have pondered the mysteries of humankind's existence and meaning. Join Professor Stephen A. Erickson as he guides you along the intellectual road traveled by post-Enlightenment thinkers such as Kant, Hegel, and Schopenhauer, as well as Marx, Kierkegaard, Nietzsche, Freud, Heidegger, Sarttre, Camus, Foucault, and Habermas. This course requires no prior background in philosophy and avoids the often-intimidating language in which serious philosophy can be expressed.
