Title: Penguin Book of Existentialist Philosophy
Author: WEBBER JONATHAN

A powerful new anthology that redefines our understanding of existentialism and argues for its contemporary relevance

‘We are thrown into the world at every moment, and committed within it’

In the aftermath of the Second World War, a group of intellectuals gathered to discuss urgent questions of existence, commitment, racism, colonialism and feminism. Their ideas would continue to shape debates throughout the twentieth and twenty-first centuries. This major new anthology gathers the key texts of existentialism, and their major intellectual influences, along with other works previously neglected in overviews and anthologies of the movement. Incorporating the writings of Simone de Beauvoir, Jean-Paul Sartre and Frantz Fanon, alongside selections from S ren Kierkegaard, Friedrich Nietzsche, Sigmund Freud and Martin Heidegger, it significantly expands and redefines our understanding of what existentialism means, and why it matters.

Edited with an Introduction by Jonathan Webber
