Zusammenfassung:Existentialism asks some of the most fundamental questions about human existence: What gives our lives meaning and value? What is it to live truthfully? How do I live an authentic life? What is my responsibility to myself and to others? In this book Joel Smith introduces and assesses the arguments and controversies surrounding these questions in an engaging way, providing a superb introduction to this important and perennial philosophical subject. Connecting existentialist themes with contemporary questions in ethics, philosophy of action, and the emotions he brings existentialism to life. He does so by both focusing on a set of distinctively existentialist questions and themes, including race and gender, whilst at the same time as engaging with the classic existentialist texts from Kierkegaard, Nietzsche, Heidegger, Sartre, de Beauvoir, Fanon and others. The book is organised clearly around the following key topics:LifeSubjectivityMeaningFreedomAngstBad FaithAlienationGenderRaceAuthenticity.Including chapter summaries and annotated further reading, Existentialism: A Philosophical Inquiry is the ideal starting point for anyone interested in this fascinating and important subject, in Philosophy as well as related disciplines such as Literature and Religion
