Synopsis

First published in 1990, Existentialism is widely regarded as a classic introductory survey of the topic, and has helped to renew interest in existentialist philosophy.

The 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.

Media Reviews
'This revision and update of David Cooper's clear andcareful reconstructive introduction to existentialist philosophycan only strengthen the impression the original gave that questionsraised by existential thinkers are those on which all the largerphilosophical debates converge. 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 whostill doubt this philosophy's credentials.' -Alastair Hannay, University of Oslo

'In this clear and superbly written book, David Cooperprovides a thematic presentation of the central ideas ofexistentialism. He has produced an invaluable work for students andgeneral readers who can appreciate a well-argued, straightforwardaccount of existentialism that does not sacrifice the richness ofthe ideas that make the philosophy of existentialism soengaging.' - James Risser, SeattleUniversity
