Her doctoral research focused on the atheist philosopher Jean-Paul Sartre as a phenomenologist of fallenness. Kate is Stipendiary Lecturer in Philosophy at St Peter's College, Oxford. The final module provides a brief account of Sartre’s long-standing legacy in philosophy, literature, sociology and critical theory. Having introduced Sartre himself and the historical and philosophical context in which he worked in the first module, we then make our way through the text itself, focusing on key concepts and arguments: in the second module, we think about ‘nothingness’, which is followed in turn by ‘anxiety’, ‘bad faith’, ‘the body’, ‘the look’, and ‘freedom’. In this course, Ms Kate Kirkpatrick (University of Oxford) explores Jean-Paul Sartre’s ‘Being and Nothingness’, a text regarded by many as one of the greatest works of 20th-century philosophy. In this module, we introduce and explore the some of the fundamental concepts of Sartre’s philosophy, including ‘being’, ‘consciousness’, and ‘nothingness’.
