The substance of the text was originally delivered in a lecture in 1946 in France at a meeting of the Club Maintenant. The slightly revised form translated here was prepared by the author himself. A CASEBOOK ON EXISTENTIALISM: A collection of writings by celebrated authors aimed at focusing on (1) the basic categories of the existential attitude (such as dread, alienation, objectification, and freedom); thus (2) suggesting the spectrum from humanistic through theistic existentialism, both in the literature and in the essays; and (3) presenting statements characteristic yet accessible by the major spokesmen of existentialism). SOCIOLOGISM AND EXISTENTIALSIM: A brilliant young scholar brings together two of the dominant intellectual trends of this era -- Sociologism and Existentialism. Although sociology and philosophy both search for knowledge about human existence, and although sociology has its roots in philosophy, both disciplines have suffered from a mutual aversion. Edward A Tiryakian bridges the gap between these two fields by analyzing a topic with which both sociological and existentialist thinkers are concerned -- the relationship between the individual and society. In the course of his examination he not only sheds light on the works of Durkheim, Kierkegaard, Nietzsche, Heidegger, and Jaspers, but also constructs a foundation which will support further studies leading to a comprehensive view of man. EXISTENTIALSIM AS PHILOSOPHY: Piercing to the core of one of the most conspicuous and relevant of postwar philosophies, this book illuminates such concepts and concerns as the individual, freedom, death, absurdity, and existence.Fernando Molina brings into contemporary perspective the problems broached by Kierkegaard and Nietzsche, and makes immediately accessible the phenomenological methods of Edmund Husserl and Martin Heidegger. He shows how Jean-Paul Sartre, by synthesizing the thought of his precursors, has created a technical system meaningful to the layman, as well as to the professional philosopher. Sociologism and Existentialism has minimal pen marking on approximately 16 pages (one shown in sample pictures). Existentialism As Philosophy has a name/date in pen on the first front endpaper and pen marks and/or underlining on approximately 10 pages to varying degrees, two of which are shown in the sample pictures. Over all condition is good.
