Dictionary of Existentialism

Editat de Haim Gordon
en Limba Engleză Hardback – iul 1999
Existentialism, as a philosophy, gained prominence after World War II. Instead of focusing upon a particular aspect of human existence, existentialists argued that our focus must be upon the whole being as he/she exists in the world. Rebelling against the rationalism of such philosophers as Descartes and Hegel, existentialists reject the emphasis placed on man as primarily a thinking being. Freedom is central to human existence, and human relations and encounters cannot be reduced simply to "thinking." This Dictionary provides--through alphabetically arranged entries--overviews of the various tenets, philosophers, and writers of existentialism, and of those writers/philosophers who, in retrospect, seem to existentialists to espouse their philosophy: Nietzsche, Kierkegaard, Dostoyevski, et al.

Recenzii

Gordon's dictionary is badly needed, since no substantial dictionaries have appeared since the early 1970s, and those earlier dictionaries are limited..The entries are informative yet concise, are written and signed by academic experts, provide brief lists of references and have extensive cross-references printed in uppercase.. This dictionary provides the thorough reference source.. It is highly recommended for all academic collections, especially for undergraduates and advanced students investigating the influence of existentialism on culture and thinking.
Recommended for academic and large public libraries.
This will be a solid addition to the philosophy section of any reference collection, and a handsome complement to general and subject-specific encyclopedias.
The notion of producing a volume of this sort is rather ingenious..The outcome is an interesting pastiche that can be useful both to such scholars and to persons seeking information to whom the field of existentialism has hitheto been terra incognita..[H]aim Gordon, who is to be congratulated for this massive undertaking.
