Description
The Cambridge Companion to Existentialism explores one of philosophy's most enduring and complex phenomena. This comprehensive volume brings together original essays by distinguished commentators to examine the ideas of key existentialist thinkers, including Kierkegaard, Nietzsche, Heidegger, Sartre, Merleau-Ponty, and Beauvoir.
By focusing on existence, these philosophers offer a compelling perspective on contemporary issues in moral psychology, philosophy of mind, language, and history. The book also delves into the influence of existential ideas beyond philosophy, tracing their impact on literature, religion, politics, and psychiatry.
This rich and comprehensive assessment provides a nuanced understanding of the continuing vitality of existentialism as a philosophical movement and cultural phenomenon.
