Description: No other train of philosophical thought has ever presented a more isolated picture of humanity than has existentialism. Certainly no other philosophical movement has been as controversial. But what are the lasting contributions of the existentialists? Are some critics correct in saying that existentialism is nothing more than a fad? Nathan A Scott, Jr. addresses these questions as he reviews the impact and main achievements of several decades of existentialist thought--page 4 of cover.
Notes: Includes bibliographical references (pages 229-240) and index.
