A cross-section of existentialist writing

Edited by Gordon Marino, this anthology gathers works by nineteenth- and twentieth-century thinkers associated with existentialism. Its organizing idea is that life offers no inherent meaning for people to discover, leaving individuals to determine meaning for themselves. The selections bring together figures including Simone de Beauvoir, Albert Camus, Fyodor Dostoevsky, Ralph Ellison, Martin Heidegger, Søren Kierkegaard, Friedrich Nietzsche, Jean-Paul Sartre, and Miguel de Unamuno y Jugo. The collection provides a single-volume encounter with a movement represented here through a range of writers and works, alongside Marino’s introduction.
