Existentialism enjoyed great popularity in the 1940s and 1950s, and
has probably had a greater impact upon literature than any other
kind of philosophy. The common interest which unites Existentialist
philosophers is their interest in human freedom. Readers of
Existentialist philosophy are being asked, not merely to
contemplate the nature of freedom, but to experience freedom, and
to practise it. In this survey, Mary Warnock begins by considering
the ethical origins of Existentialism, with particular reference to
Kierkegaard and Nietzsche, and outlines the importance of a
systematic account of man's connection with the world as expounded
by Husserl. She discusses at length the common interests and
ancestry of Existentialism in the works of Heidegger,
Merleau-Ponty, and Sartre, and offers some conclusions about the
current nature and future of this committed and practical
philosophy. This revised edition includes a postscript reviewing
the status of Existentialism in the 1990s, and has a thoroughly
updated bibliography.
