Existentialism: An Introduction has established itself as the most
comprehensive and accessible book on the subject available. In this
fully revised and expanded second edition, Kevin Aho draws on a
wide range of existentialist thinkers from both the secular and
religious traditions, adding a wealth of new material on
existentialism's relationship with Marxist thought and its impact
on feminist phenomenology and critical race theory. Chapters center
on the key themes of freedom, authenticity, being-in-the-world,
alienation, and nihilism. Aho also addresses important but often
overlooked issues in the canon of existentialism, including the
role of embodiment, existentialism's contribution to ethics,
political theory and environmental and comparative philosophies, as
well as its influence on the allied health professions. By tracking
its many and significant influences on modern thought, Kevin Aho
shows why existentialism cannot be easily dismissed as a moribund
or outdated movement, but instead endures as one of the most
important and vibrant areas of contemporary philosophy.
Existentialism remains so influential because it forcefully deals
with what it means to be human and engages with fundamental
questions such as "Who am I?" and "How should I live?"
Existentialism: An Introduction is the ideal text for upper-level
philosophy students and for anyone interested in the movement's key
figures and concepts.
