Analytic Existentialism

This volume brings together ten essays in which analytic philosophers engage with existentialism. They take up central existentialist themes, such as freedom, consciousness, and bad faith. All demonstrate that existentialism and analytic philosophy can come together to capture the imagination and rekindle the excitement of philosophical thought.
