From Rationalism to Existentialism: The Existentialists and Their Nineteenth-Century Backgrounds by Robert C. Solomon In this enduring text, renowned philosopher Robert C. Solomon provides students with a detailed introduction to modern existentialism.

He reveals how this philosophy not only connects with, but derives from, the thought of traditional philosophers through the works of Nietzsche, Kierkegaard, Husserl, Heidegger, Sartre, and Merleau-Ponty. Thus, existentialism emerges from the school of rational thought as a logical evolution of respected philosophy.
