With its supplements on religion, politics and art, and a closer look at the Heidegger-Sartre link, the book is now an even more formidable challenge to those who still doubt this philosophy’s credentials.’ \u003cb\u003e– Alastair Hannay\u003c\/b\u003e, University of Oslo\u003cbr\u003e \u003cp\u003e‘In this clear and superbly written book, David Cooper provides a thematic presentation of the central ideas of existentialism.

First published in 1990, \u003ci\u003eExistentialism\u003c\/i\u003e is widely regarded as a classic introductory survey of the topic, and has helped to renew interest in existentialist philosophy.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cp\u003eUtilizing recently published primary sources, David E. Cooper provides a sympathetic, original account of a mainstream movement of philosophical thought, reconstructed from the best writing of Heidegger, Sartre, Merleau-Ponty and others. Existentialism is viewed as the attempt to\"overcome\" various forms of alienation: from the world, one another and oneself. The early chapters describe the existential phenomenology, on the basis of which the dualisms of Cartesian metaphysics are \"dissolved\". Discussions of the self and others, and of \"Angst\" and absurdity, lead into chapters on existential freedom and the prospects for an existentialist ethics. Writers discussed include Husserl, Jaspers, Buber, Marcel, and Ortega.\u003cbr\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe author places existentialism within the great traditions of philosophy, and argues that it deserves as much attention from analytic philosophers as it has always received on the continent.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Wiley-Blackwell","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47989184299237,"sku":"NP9780631213239","price":32.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1842\/7735\/files\/9780631213239.jpg?v=1761783125","url":"https:\/\/k12savings.com\/products\/existentialism-isbn-9780631213239","provider":"K12savings","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
