Description for The Existentialist´s Guide to Death, the Universe and Nothingness
Paperback. Num Pages: 192 pages. BIC Classification: HP; HPCF3. Category: (G) General (US: Trade). Dimension: 198 x 129. .
The Existentialist's Guide to Death, the Universe and Nothingness is an entertaining philosophical guide to life, love, hate, freedom, sex, anxiety, God and death; a guide to everything and nothing. Gary Cox, bestselling author of How to Be an Existentialist and How to Be a Philosopher, takes us on an exciting journey through the central themes of existentialism, a philosophy of the human condition. The Existentialist's Guide fascinates, informs, provokes and inspires as it explores existentialism's uncompromising view of human reality. It leaves the reader with no illusions about how hard it is to live honestly and achieve authenticity. It has, however, a redeeming humour that sets the wisdom of the great existentialist philosophers alongside the wit of great musicians and comedians. A realistic self-help book for anyone interested in personal empowerment, The Existentialist's Guide offers a wealth of profound philosophical insight into life, the universe and everything.

Reviews for The Existentialist´s Guide to Death, the Universe and Nothingness
Here the author of How to Be an Existentialist delivers a crunchier, more technical reading of the views of Sartre, De Beauvoir, Heidegger and others on freedom, contingency, embarrassment, death and sex. Cox leads the reader well through vivid examples...
