Reviews
Rethinking Existentialism is a substantial and valuable attempt to re-evaluate the core ideas of this important philosophical movement * Juliana De Albuquerque, Times Literary Supplement *
This excellent study engages with the heart of existentialism, challenging established views and interpretations. Essential reading for all researchers and students of existentialism, its clarity of argument will encourage debate. * John Gillespie, French Studies *
Rethinking Existentialism is not only essential reading for anyone interested in existentialism, but the only book one needs. * Kyle Shuttleworth, Sartre Studies International *
There is a great deal of really excellent analysis in this book - of Sartre, of Beauvoir, of Fanon, and of The Outsider, She Came to Stay and No Exit - with which scholars will want to engage seriously. * Katherine J. Morris, Mind *
Clear and readable, this book is advanced but will still be inviting to nonspecialists. A valuable resource in the classroom and in research. Summing up: Highly recommended * CHOICE *
