Abstract

Lesson 2 in a 14 lesson, full year alternative curriculum in the humanities suitable for all students 13-20, but particularly young people in recovery. Lessons may be used as part of the whole curriculum or individually, either as stand alone assignments or as alternative material in other classes. Although film is the provocative medium, this is not a film course, nor a course on the history of existentialism; rather, students will "commit" philosophy.
