Description
The Continuum Companion to Existentialism offers the
definitive guide to a key area of modern European philosophy. The book covers
the fundamental questions asked by existentialism, providing valuable guidance
for students and researchers to some of the many important and enduring
contributions of existentialist thinkers. Specially commissioned essays from an
international team of experts explore existentialism's relationship to
philosophical method; ontology; politics; psychoanalysis; ethics; religion;
literature; emotion; feminism and sexuality; cognitive science; authenticity
and the self; its significance in Latin American culture; and its contribution
to the development of Poststructuralism. In addition, five short chapters
summarise the status of canonical figures Kierkegaard, Nietzsche, Heidegger,
Sartre and de Beauvoir, delineating the historical approach to their work,
while pointing to new directions such research is now taking.
