A wonderful read... April 5, 1999 4 out of 4 found this review helpful
Kauffman, a modern authority on the movement known as Existentialism defines it and draws an accurate sketch in under 400 pages. If you want to know more about existentialism, this is the book for you!
An excellent antology on existentialism April 28, 1998 4 out of 4 found this review helpful
A good collection of philosophical writing from such greats as Dostoyevski, Kierkegaard, and Sartre. Includes, among other things, a lengthy and informative introduction written by Walter Kauffman giving a brief bio of each author. This book also features several never-before translated works of existentialism aside from such classics as "The Wall," "Notes from the Underground," & "Live dangerously." Overall, this is a wonderful book for a novice to this subject.
