The Existentialists: Critical Essays on Kierkegaard, Nietzsche, Heidegger, and Sartre
This
volume brings together for the first time some of the most helpful and
insightful essays on the four most influential and discussed
philosophers in the history of existentialism: Kierkegaard, Nietzsche,
Heidegger, and Sartre. The contributors write on such topics as
Kierkegaard's knight of faith and his diagnosis of the 'present age;'
Nietzsche's view of morality and self-creation; Heidegger's accounts of
worldhood and authenticity; and Sartre's ontology, ethics, and
conception of the cogito. The essays have been selected for their higher
level of scholarship and for their ability to illuminate various
aspects of their subject's work. The volume is enhanced by the editor's
introduction and extensive bibliography to aid further study.
