No Excuses: Existentialism and the Meaning of Life, 3rd Edition
64
 
 

alt

Course Number 437—24 lectures (30 minutes/lecture)

Taught by: Professor Robert Solomon—The University of Texas at Austin
Ph.D., University of Michigan
"The message of Existentialism, unlike that of many more obscure and academic philosophical movements, is about as simple as can be. It is that every one of us, as an individual, is responsible—responsible for what we do, responsible for who we are, responsible for the way we face and deal with the world, responsible, ultimately, for the way the world is.

Robert Graves - I, Claudius
33
 
 

Robert Graves - I, ClaudiusHistorical novel set in 1st-century-AD Rome by Robert Graves, published in 1934. The book is written as an autobiographical memoir by Roman emperor Claudius. Physically weak, afflicted with stammering, and inclined to drool, Claudius is an embarrassment to his family and is shunted to the background of imperial affairs. The benefits of his seeming ineffectuality are twofold: he becomes a scholar and historian, and he is spared the worst cruelties inflicted on the imperial family by its own members during the reigns of Augustus,Tiberius, and Caligula.
