The Pursuit of Existentialismexplores how existentialism has survived and how its key themes and concerns remain integral to continental philosophy today. The Pursuit of Existentialismplaces the creation of existentialism - in the work of Sartre, Camus and Beauvoir - in its historical context, assessing how it drew on the work of Nietzsche and Kierkegaard. The book then goes on to focus on the complex heritage of post-Sartrean thinking from Heidegger to today. Theorists and schools covered include: Heidegger's infamous critique of existentialism; "the dissident surrealists" from Bataille to Blanchot; feminist thinking from Arendt to Kristeva; postmodernist theorising from Baudrillard and Lyotard; psychoanalytic thinking from Lacan and Žižek; and deconstructive and political philosophy from Derrida and Badiou. | The Pursuit of Existentialism by Jones Irwin, Hardcover | Indigo Chapters
