<P><B></B> Introducing readers to existentialist philosophy through the writings of Kierkegaard, Nietzsche, De Beauvoir and others, this unique anthology includes long selections from a relatively small number of existentialist thinkers — exploring each philosopher's views in great detail, and prefacing the essays with insightful introductions to help clarify material. <B></B> Offers creative, explicative chapter introductions to help readers grasp material to be covered.

Includes practical end-of-chapter glossaries to help readers with technical terms and unfamiliar jargon. Now presents thought-provoking study/discussion questions, as well as an updated bibliography. <B></B> For those interested in existentialism, late 19th century thought, and the philosophy of religion. </P>
