Widely recognized as the finest definition of existentialist Philosophy, this book introduced existentialism to America in 1958. Barrett discusses the views of 19th and 20th century existentialists Kierkegaard, Nietzsche, Heidegger, and Sartre and interprets the impact of their thinking on literature, art, and philosophy.
Really thought provoking. It might just change your life. One of the most personally impactful books I have ever read. It stirred my mind and unsettled me. I was disturbed and questioned my faith after reading and thinking through this book. I am changed. My faith evolves as I continue to struggle with it.
