The course brings to life the essentials of existentialist philosophy in plays and novels of French authors such as Sartre and Camus, with modern insights into the age-old question of free choice and predestination, the relevancy or irrelevancy of God, commitment or alienation and the meaning or the absurdity of life. Readings are in French; class discussions and written work in English/French.

Prerequisite: FRN 210 or departmental approval, or any 400 level course
