Existentialism was one of the leading philosophical movements of the twentieth century. Focusing on its seven leading figures, Sartre, Nietzsche, Heidegger, Kierkegaard, de Beauvoir, Merleau-Ponty and Camus, this Very Short Introduction provides a clear account of the key themes of the movement which emphasized individuality, free will, and personal responsibility in the modern world. Drawing in the movement's varied relationships with the arts, humanism, and politics, this book clarifies the philosophy and original meaning of 'existentialism' - which has tended to be obscured by misappropriation. Placing it in its historical context, Thomas Flynn also highlights how existentialism is still relevant to us today.

用户评价

有时候觉得看懂了，大部分时候云里雾里。

答疑解惑的同时创造出了更多的问题。不算晦涩难懂，门槛高在对读者在哲学各个分支博采众长的要求。如，萨特pre-reflective和reflective consciousness以及胡塞尔phenomenological description的引入都需要对于心灵哲学和现象学的粗浅了解。好在引文精确到位，且十分informative地把存在主义各代表人物（尤其Kierkegaard, Gabriel Marcel, Merleau-Ponty这些我不太熟的）精细入微的思想分歧娓娓道来。存在主义与其独有的inwardness使它在我心中仍高居于马哲之上。然而在政治上缺乏力度的问题仍未得解，或许在处理有关the mass的任何问题上，一定程度的Hegelian reduction依然不可避免。

英文原著仍然是十分推荐的，对恰当理解存在主义提供了很多帮助。就是这些句子最初阅读简直让我失去了人生信心，实在是不知道啥意思，经常百度，最后看着看着也居然习惯了

这么小一本书，还是觉得作者题外话太多

附录带书单！好好好！
