"Excellent!!" according to Jude77. To get to the bottom line, this is an excellent overview of existentialism. Its strong point is that it is truly "jargon free" and excels at making very complex thought comprehendible to lay people (heck, this book even makes Heidegger accessible!). I have a BA in philosophy and an MA in Theology and have found that both were necessary when reading other intro books to Exi. Marlene SanNicolas said Brief but informative a good starting overview.. Straight forward overview and uncomplicated but thorough explanation of a wide ranging philosophy that has so many different claims. Good starting place for those interested in the subject.. Stephen M. Keating said Five Stars. The book arrived in good condition
