Basic Writings of Existentialism, unique to the Modern Library, presents the writings of key nineteenth- and
twentieth-century thinkers broadly united by their belief that because life has no inherent meaning that humans
can discover, we must determine meaning for ourselves.
This anthology brings together into one volume the most influential and commonly taught works of existentialism.
