Download Existentialism: A Very Short Introduction AudioBook Free
Among the leading philosophical actions of the twentieth hundred years, existentialism has had more impact on books and the arts than any school of thought. Focusing on the leading characters of existentialism, including Sartre, Nietzsche, Heidegger, Kierkegaard, de Beauvoir, Merleau-Ponty, and Camus, Thomas Flynn offers a concise profile of existentialism, describing the key themes or templates of personality, free will, and personal responsibility, which proclaimed the movement as a means of life, not just a thought process.
Flynn sets the school of thought of existentialism in context, from the first phenomenologists, to its climb in the 40's and 50's, and the contacts with National Socialism, Communism, and Feminism. He recognizes the original explanation of "existentialism," which is commonly obscured by misappropriation, and highlights how the school of thought continues to be relevant in our world today.
