Also Includes a Course Guidebook; The Course Guidebook includes a glossary, biographical notes and bibliographical references; "The message of Existentialism, unlike that of many more obscure and academic philosophical movements, is about as simple as can be. It is that every one of us, as an individual, is responsible - responsible for what we do, responsible for who we are, responsible for the way we face and deal with the world, responsible, ultimately, for the way the world is; If you believe that life should be a quest for values, reasons, and purpose - filled with passion and governed by individual responsibility - then yours is the sort of mind to which the Existentialist philosophers were speaking; If you want to enrich your own understanding of this unique philosophical movement, the visionary thinkers it brought together to ponder these questions, and the prominent role it still plays in contemporary thought, you now have an opportunity to do so with this 24-lecture course."
