Description
Existentialism: A Very Short Introduction by Thomas Flynn This concise introduction to existentialism explores the key themes and figures of the movement, which emphasizes individuality, free will, and personal responsibility in the modern world. Seven leading philosophers, including Sartre, Nietzsche, and Camus, are examined in detail, providing a clear understanding of the philosophy's original meaning and its relevance to contemporary society. By placing existentialism in its historical context, Thomas Flynn sheds light on the movement's relationships with the arts, humanism, and politics, and highlights its continued relevance today. This Very Short Introduction is part of the acclaimed series from Oxford University Press, which offers expert analysis and new ideas on a wide range of subjects.
