Summary:

Jeffrey Bell argues that a motivating problematic for existentialist writers is the attempt to think through the implications of the problematic nature of life. He applies a Deleuzian theory of problems to an analysis of some key concepts in contemporary social and political theory. Building on the metaphysics of problems set out in his book, <i>An Inquiry into Analytic-Continental Metaphysics</i>, he provides a new way of integrating the concerns of existentialist writers into contemporary political and social debates.
