Excellent primer on one of the essential philosophical movements of the 20th century. Covering the intellectual background leading up to and coming out of the work of the Existentialist philosophers with deep dives into four of the defining minds. The theme are fundamental to the human experience: identity, morality, value, and existence. It has approachable prose despite the density of the ideas, the work is a welcoming door into the thoughts and theories of Kierkegaard, Nietzsche, Heidegger and Sartre.
