Critical existentialism

Critical existentialism

Nicola Abbagnano
0/5 ( ratings)
Read Download
This volume presents for the first time in English a broad and coherent exposition of the ideas of an important existentialist philosopher. Nicola Abbagnano, professor of the history of philosophy at the University of Turin, has been concerned with steering existentialism in a positive direction, making it at once more rigorous as to method and more genuinely relevant to the human situation. In arguing that possibility is the fundamental mode and sense of human reality, he challenges the positions of other existentialists who, though they employ the concept of the possible as the basic tool of philosophical analysis, do so incoherently. By a careful and consistent use of this concept, he clarifies its relations with those of inquiry, commiment, time, freedom and death. A numer of these papers deal with the basic rules for the central concept of possibility, while others distinguish it from those concepts with which it might be confused. Still others explore how it connects philosophy to science, religion, history, art and language. All but two of the essays are newly translated into English especially for this volume. The editor has supplied a lucid Introduction setting forth the main themes of Abbagnano's thought and assessing his over-all philosophical development.
