Description
This introduction examines existentialism, one of the leading philosophical movements of the twentieth century, through seven key figures: Sartre, Nietzsche, Heidegger, Kierkegaard, de Beauvoir, Merleau-Ponty and Camus. It clearly explains the movement’s central themes of individuality, free will and personal responsibility in the modern world, as well as its varied relationships with the arts, humanism and politics. Thomas Flynn clarifies the philosophy and original meaning of “existentialism,” which has often been obscured by misuse, places it in its historical context and highlights its continuing relevance today.
