ENGL 5559: Studies in Special Topics (CRW) - Philosophy, Literature, and Death (Spring 2020)

CHORUS SINGING IN BLACK VEILS

Simon Critchley, in his book The Book of Dead Philosophers, argues that thinking about death is fundamental to our being human: "To philosophize, then, is to learn how to have death in your mouth," But how do we acquire 鈥渄eath in our mouths鈥? How do we think death? And what does this thinking have to do with literature, with reading and writing? This course will examine these questions.
