Overview

WHAT DO YOU HAVE TO DO TO BE AN INDIVIDUAL?
That is the question at the heart of existentialism and it informs this book's exploration of the existentialist tradition in 19th and 20th century philosophy.

Existentialism: All That Matters considers each of the key figures - Kierkegaard, Nietzsche, Heidegger, Sartre, Camus and de Beauvoir - who all offer related, though distinct, conceptions of the task of becoming an individual.

David Cerbone's book gives a fascinating introduction to existentialism and what matters most about it.
