In Rethinking Existentialism, Jonathan Webber articulates an
original interpretation of existentialism as the ethical theory
that human freedom is the foundation of all other values. Offering
an original analysis of classic literary and philosophical works
published by Jean-Paul Sartre, Simone de Beauvoir, and Frantz Fanon
up until 1952, Webber's conception of existentialism is developed
in critical contrast with central works by Albert Camus, Sigmund
Freud, and Maurice Merleau-Ponty. Presenting his arguments in an
accessible and engaging style, Webber contends that Beauvoir and
Sartre initially disagreed over the structure of human freedom in
1943 but Sartre ultimately came to accept Beauvoir's view over the
next decade. He develops the viewpoint that Beauvoir provides a
more significant argument for authenticity than either Sartre or
Fanon. He articulates in detail the existentialist theories of
individual character and the social identities of gender and race,
key concerns in current discourse. Webber concludes by sketching
out the broader implications of his interpretation of
existentialism for philosophy, psychology, and psychotherapy.
