Raktažodžiai:
In Rethinking Existentialism, Jonathan Webber articulates an original interpretation of existentialism as the ethical theory that human freedom is the foundation of all other values.

Offering an original analysis of classic literary and philosophical works published by Jean-Paul Sartre, Simone de Beauvoir, and Frantz Fanon up until 1952, Webber's conception of existentialism is developed in critical contrast with central works by Albert Camus, Sigmund Freud, and Maurice Merleau-Ponty.

Presenting his arguments in an accessible and engaging style, Webber contends that Beauvoir and Sartre initially disagreed over the structure of human freedom in 1943 but Sartre ultimately came to accept Beauvoir's view over the next decade. He develops the viewpoint that Beauvoir provides a more significant argument for authenticity than either Sartre or Fanon. He articulates in detail the existentialist theories of individual character and the social identities of gender and race, key concerns in current discourse. Webber concludes by sketching out the broader implications of his interpretation of existentialism for philosophy, psychology, and psychotherapy.

Recenzijos

Rethinking Existentialism is a substantial and valuable attempt to re-evaluate the core ideas of this important philosophical movement * Juliana De Albuquerque, Times Literary Supplement * This excellent study engages with the heart of existentialism, challenging established views and interpretations. Essential reading for all researchers and students of existentialism, its clarity of argument will encourage debate. * John Gillespie, French Studies * Rethinking Existentialism is not only essential reading for anyone interested in existentialism, but the only book one needs. * Kyle Shuttleworth, Sartre Studies International * There is a great deal of really excellent analysis in this book - of Sartre, of Beauvoir, of Fanon, and of The Outsider, She Came to Stay and No Exit - with which scholars will want to engage seriously. * Katherine J. Morris, Mind * Clear and readable, this book is advanced but will still be inviting to nonspecialists. A valuable resource in the classroom and in research. Summing up: Highly recommended * CHOICE *
