Philosophy Now Magazine Aug-Sep 2021 Zurück Ausgabe

Issue 145 focuses on Existentialism. It was the philosophical tendency of choice for broody French intellectuals in Parisian cafés in the 1950s, but Existentialism has deeper roots and much to tell us about life today. As well as Sartre, Simone de Beauvoir and Kierkegaard, we’ll look at some of the less well-known Existentialists, and at key concepts including anxiety, bad faith, authenticity, radical freedom, and the absurd. Can Existentialism provide a guide to how to live?

Also in this issue you can read articles on John Locke, on paradoxes and on Stoicism, as well as a Brief Life of the highly original 17th century English philosopher Anne Conway. All this and an interview with Michael Hauskeller about death and the meaning of life. Take a leap of faith – subscribe today!
