"Between them, the movements of Logical Postivism and Existentialism dominated philosophy in Europe for much of the last century, and the influence they exerted can still be felt today. In his widely acclaimed Contemporary Philosophy, Frederick Copleston provides a detailed and objective introduction to these two highly controversial areas of recent thought. Originally written in 1956, and revised in 1972, this book explores the work of many of the most important thinkers of the 20th century, including Ayer, Wittgenstein, Heidegger, Sartre and Camus." "Written in a clear and accessible style, this book will prove invaluable to anyone looking for a general introduction to either of these fascinating and influential philosophical movements."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.

Copleston, an Oxford Jesuit and specialist in the history of philosophy, first created his history as an introduction for Catholic ecclesiastical seminaries. However, since its first publication (the last volume appearing in the mid-1970s) the series has become the classic account for all philosophy scholars and students. The 11-volume series gives an accessible account of each philosopher's work, but also explains their relationship to the work of other philosophers.

Existentialism is not merely a philosophical doctrine but a living, breathing confrontation with what it means to be human. It is a call to face the raw realities of existence—freedom, responsibility, anxiety, alienation, and ultimately, death—without retreating into comforting illusions. This book is born out of that call: to explore, unpack, and wrestle with the core ideas of existentialist thought, not from the distance of academic abstraction, but from within the very questions that define our lives. The existentialist tradition is broad, diverse, and sometimes internally contradictory. It includes thinkers as different in style and emphasis as Søren Kierkegaard, Friedrich Nietzsche, Jean-Paul Sartre, Simone de Beauvoir, Albert Camus, Martin Heidegger, and Maurice Merleau-Ponty. Some rooted their reflections in theology; others were staunch atheists. Some spoke of absurdity, others of transcendence. But what unites them is a shared concern: the centrality of individual existence in an often indifferent or unknowable universe. Existentialism arose in a modern world disoriented by the collapse of traditional values, the disintegration of religious authority, the trauma of war, and the alienation of industrial society. It gave voice to a generation asking not "What should I believe?" but "How should I live?" and "Who am I when all the roles and certainties fall away?" These are not questions with definitive answers. They are lived questions—answers are provisional, contingent, and must be earned through experience, not received by doctrine. This book does not pretend to provide the final word on existentialism. Instead, it aims to guide readers through its major themes and figures, to offer a map for navigating its often challenging terrain. From Kierkegaard's leap of faith and Nietzsche’s proclamation of the death of God, to Sartre’s radical freedom and Camus’s myth of Sisyphus, we will examine how existentialists have approached the problem of meaning in a world where meaning is not given. Existentialism is sometimes caricatured as dark, nihilistic, or pessimistic. Certainly, it does not flinch from despair. But at its heart, existentialism is profoundly liberating. It tells us that though we are thrown into a world not of our choosing, we are not defined by our circumstances. We are free—and with that freedom comes the burden and the beauty of shaping a life that is authentically our own. In this sense, existentialism is not a philosophy of defeat but one of courage. As you read, you may find that existentialism doesn’t offer comfort—but it does offer clarity. It asks you to look honestly at yourself and your condition, to resist the seductions of evasion and bad faith, and to take responsibility for the shape of your life. That is its enduring power and its enduring challenge. Whether you are encountering these ideas for the first time or returning to them with new eyes, I invite you to read this book not only with the intellect but with the whole of your being. Existentialism is not just something to be studied; it is something to be lived.

Existentialism is the philosophy of human existence, which flourished first in Germany in the 1920s and 1930s and then in France in the decade following the end of World War II. The operative meaning of existentialism here is thus broader than it was circa 1945 when the term first gained currency in France as a label for the philosophy of Jean-Paul Sartre. However, it is considerably less broad than the view proposed by commentators in the 1950s and 1960s who, in an attempt to overcome Sartre's hegemony, discovered the seeds of existentialism far and wide: in Shakespeare, Saint Augustine, and the Old Testament prophets. In this dictionary, existentialism is understood as a decidedly 20th-century phenomenon, though with roots in the 19th century. Effort has been made to understand the philosophy of existentialism, as all philosophies should be understood, as part of an ongoing intellectual tradition: an evolving history of problems, concepts, and arguments. The A to Z of Existentialism explains the central claims of existentialist philosophy and the contexts in which it developed into one of the most influential intellectual trends of the 20th century. This is done through a chronology, an introductory essay, a bibliography, and more than 300 cross-referenced dictionary entries offering clear, accessible accounts of the life and thought of major existentialists like Jean-Paul Sartre, Martin Heidegger, Martin Buber, Karl Jaspers, Gabriel Marcel, Simone de Beauvoir, Albert Camus, and Maurice Merleau-Ponty, as well as thinkers influential to its development such as Wilhelm Dilthey, Henri Bergson, Edmund Husserl, and Max Scheler. This book affords readers an integrated, critical, and historically-sensitive understanding of this important philosophical movement.
