Structured journeys through the history of ideas
Trace the arc of existentialist thought from its religious origins in Kierkegaard through Nietzsche's death of God, Dostoevsky's underground rebellion, Heidegger's question of Being, Sartre's radical freedom, and Camus's philosophy of the absurd.
Begin at the beginning. From the mathematical mysticism of Pythagoras through Plato's theory of Forms, Aristotle's systematic vision of reality, and the Stoic art of living well.
How have the greatest minds wrestled with the existence, nature, and silence of God? From Augustine's confessions through Aquinas's proofs, Spinoza's radical pantheism, Al-Ghazali's mystical turn, and the modern problem of divine hiddenness.
