[content warning: this movie is rated PG but involves sexually suggestive dialogue, suicide attempts in fantasy contexts, and mild profanity. Viewer discretion is advised.]
What makes a fulfilling life? How does one escape from the routine of reality? What defines human existence? For centuries, philosophers have struggled with these basic questions. In this class, we will attempt to answer them by watching the 1993 film Groundhog Day starring Bill Murray. The class will consist of a movie screening, followed by an in-class discussion of philosophical topics in the film. Popcorn and snacks will be provided.
