Second World War. Stunned by it, young philosophers created a new way of thinking—existentialism. It was the philosophy of apricot cocktails and fatigue, mountain hikes and love, disgust and soft sofas—meaning life itself. Its founders—Jean-Paul Sartre and Simone de Beauvoir—rejected the conventions of their predecessors. But do we know other names?
This book not only tells you the history of the emergence of existentialism, but also introduces you to other outstanding followers of this philosophical movement.
