Description

Explore the profound depths of existentialist thought with this comprehensive reference from Routledge. Existentialism emerged as a major philosophical movement following World War II, shifting the focus from specific aspects of life to the whole being as they exist in the world. This work captures the essence of a movement that rebelled against the rationalism of thinkers like Descartes and Hegel. Instead of viewing humans primarily as thinking beings, existentialists argue that freedom is central to our existence. This book addresses how human relations and encounters cannot be reduced to simple thought processes. Through alphabetically arranged entries, this dictionary provides a clear overview of the concepts, figures, and ideas that define this influential field of study. It is an essential resource for students and scholars interested in how we exist within our world.
