PHL 366
Existentialism and Art and Culture
Through literature, visual art, film, and theory, this course explores existentialist lines of thought and their implications for modern day life. Existentialism is a philosophical and cultural movement critical of social illusions and self-deceptions that thwart genuine freedom. Exploring experiences of anxiety, futility, and isolation, analyzing the nature of the individual's relation to society, morality and religion, and arguing for the irrational nature of reality, existentialist theorists and artists seek to promote freedom, creativity, authenticity.

Genuinely one of the best decisions I ever made in university was taking this course. Paula is the sweetest professor on earth and lectures are the blast. As a commuter student who often skips lectures I ALWAYS made sure to attend this class. This class is perfect for anyone who wants to explore philosophy through a more gothic lens, while also having a good time with nice people and an amazing professor. However, do be warned there is a heavy emphasis on group discussion and teamwork. But due to this, I was able to make a few friends in the class - which for TMU can be very rare.
