First published in 1990, "Existentialism" is widely regarded as a
classic introductory survey of the topic, and has helped to renew
interest in existentialist philosophy. Utilizing recently published
primary sources, David E. Cooper provides a sympathetic, original
account of a mainstream movement of philosophical thought,
reconstructed from the best writing of Heidegger, Sartre,
Merleau-Ponty and others. Existentialism is viewed as the attempt
to "overcome" various forms of alienation: from the world, one
another and oneself.The early chapters describe the existential
phenomenology, on the basis of which the dualisms of Cartesian
metaphysics are "dissolved". Discussions of the self and others,
and of "Angst" and absurdity, lead into chapters on existential
freedom and the prospects for an existentialist ethics. Writers
discussed, include Husserl, Jaspers, Buber, Marcel, and Ortega. The
author places existentialism within the great traditions of
philosophy, and argues that it deserves as much attention from
analytic philosophers as it has always received on the continent.
