Dr. Edwin Murillo(UTC)

Existentialism is a movement in philosophy and literature that grapples with questions of what it means for we as individuals to exist.

It gained prominence in Europe after World War II - but its questions are as timeless as human nature.

Examples of the movement abound around the world - including Latin America.

Dr. Edwin Murillo is associate professor in modern and classical languages and literatures here on our campus, the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga - and the author of the book, “Latin America and Existentialism.”
