Course Description

French humanist philosopher, journalist, political activist, novelist and playwright Albert Camus (1913-1960) made waves through 20th-century regimes, wars and post-war ideologies. Humanism focuses on the agency of humans within individual, social and moral inquiries. Camus sought agency across humanistic hope and meaning in a world he often found absurd. He is associated with existentialists such as Jean-Paul Sartre and political author George Orwell, and was influenced by French philosopher-mystic Simone Weil despite his atheism. We will read extracts from works by Camus, such as The Stranger, The Fall, and The Myth of Sisyphus, reflecting on ideas about meaning, existence and humanism through sharing stories, art and photography.
