Summary

1. “Existentialism is often spoken of as if it were a coherent system of philosophy, and as if it had some particular relevance to ethics. It is often supposed, indeed, to give rise to a unique kind of ethical theory. In this essay an attempt is made to bring out some common presuppositions of all existentialist writing, by examining, very briefly, the thought of Kierkegaard and Heidegger, and, at greater length, some of the early work of Jean-Paul Sartre. It is suggested that existentialism is, in many ways, more like a mood than a system; and that though the existentialist mood, and its characteristic tone of voice, has indeed a bearing upon ethical theory, it cannot give rise by itself to any single coherent moral philosophy.”- Publisher
