In this lecture course, we went through 4 literary movements. We started with the enlightenment, proceeded to romanticism, then we studied the realists and ended with the modernists. Some of the writers we studied were Moliere for the enlightenment, Blake and Whitman for romanticism (British vs. American), Darwin and Nietzsche for realism and Sartre for the modernists. We explored philosophical theories such as existentialism and Sartre's concepts of En Soi and Por Soi.
I enjoyed this class alot. Im an avid reader of philosophy and alot of the concepts we studied were things that i live by and strongly believe. The lectures were really enjoyable and my professor Kris Baker was very passionate and engaging. I feel like i got alot out of the class, especially since the exams were essay based and involved lots of thinking. It was very interesting to see all the students engaging in the conversation, so it wasnt just a lecture, it was an exchange of ideas and opinions and i think that made the class even better.
