- Summary:
- "In the aftermath of the Second World War, a group of intellectuals gathered to discuss urgent questions of existence, commitment, racism, colonialism and feminism. Their ideas would continue to shape debates throughout the twentieth and twenty-first centuries. This major new anthology gathers the key texts of existentialism, and thoseof the movement's nineteenth-century intellectual precursors, alongwith other works previously neglected in overviews and anthologies of the movement. Incorporating the writings of Simone de Beauvoir, Jean-Paul Sartre and Frantz Fanon, alongside selections from S²ren Kierkegaard, Friedrich Nietzsche, Sigmund Freud and Martin Heidegger,it significantly expands and redefines our understanding of what existentialism means, and why it matters."-- Provided by publisher.
