About this deal

a b Thompson, Mel; Rodgers, Nigel (2010). Understanding Existentialism: Teach Yourself. Hodder & Stoughton. ISBN 9781444134216– via Google Books. I had read the first book of this series when it came out in 2019 and enjoyed it a lot. This sequel improves on the first book in pretty much every level, it's just a bit of a shame that Dr. Diablerie is barely in this one. But that's made up for with a bunch fun and interesting characters and Yahtzee's hilarious sense of humor. His ability to poke fun at the current popular culture by turning everything up to at least eleven regularly produces laugh out loud moments of situational comedy or little tongue in cheek moments while still being able to tell a suspenseful supernatural murder mystery story. And reducing Dr. Diablerie's appearences helps to highlight just how ridiculous and over the top funny he really is when he does show up in the most unexpected moments 😀 Let's hope he gets right on with writing the third book in this series. See James Wood's introduction to Sartre, Jean-Paul (2000). Nausea. London: Penguin Classics. p. vii. ISBN 978-0-141-18549-1.

Messud, Claire (2014). "A New 'L'Étranger' ". The New York Review of Books. 61 (10) . Retrieved 1 June 2014. Trigger warning: the culture war takes aim at Christianity in this one. I thought I knew where that was headed, but it went somewhere fairly different and suitably horrifying to everyone involved. Croshaw loves to laugh at all sides of current culture wars. I probably don't always find it as funny as he does, but it's good to see things from a different perspective. Martin Heidegger, letter, quoted in Rüdiger Safranski, Martin Heidegger – Between Good and Evil (Harvard University Press, 1998, p. 349). Although many outside Scandinavia consider the term existentialism to have originated from Kierkegaard, it is more likely that Kierkegaard adopted this term (or at least the term "existential" as a description of his philosophy) from the Norwegian poet and literary critic Johan Sebastian Cammermeyer Welhaven. [20] This assertion comes from two sources: I would recommend this book and its predecessor if you are looking for hours of light entertainment along the lines of Douglas Adams or Terry Pratchett (but more cynical.) I'm not sure if he's as good as they are, but their influence is strong.

Graham, Maryemma; Singh, Amritjit (1995). Conversations with Ralph Ellison. University of Mississippi Press. ISBN 9780878057818 . Retrieved 26 March 2015. An early contributor to existentialist psychology in the United States was Rollo May, who was strongly influenced by Kierkegaard and Otto Rank. One of the most prolific writers on techniques and theory of existentialist psychology in the US is Irvin D. Yalom. Yalom states that Rüdiger Safranski, Martin Heidgger – Between Good and Evil, Harvard University Press, 1998, p. 343. I listened to Differently Morphous three times in the months before I started this book, so had no trouble remembering any of the details (and there were many). Definitely read it before Existentially Challenged as this book is a continuation of that story and offers multiple revals you won't want to miss. Unlike the first book, this one feels more like part of a series and probably doesn't stand as well on its own. Appignanesi, Richard (2006). Introducing Existentialism (3rded.).

Although Martin Buber wrote his major philosophical works in German, and studied and taught at the Universities of Berlin and Frankfurt, he stands apart from the mainstream of German philosophy. Born into a Jewish family in Vienna in 1878, he was also a scholar of Jewish culture and involved at various times in Zionism and Hasidism. In 1938, he moved permanently to Jerusalem. His best-known philosophical work was the short book I and Thou, published in 1922. [67] For Buber, the fundamental fact of human existence, too readily overlooked by scientific rationalism and abstract philosophical thought, is "man with man", a dialogue that takes place in the so-called "sphere of between" ( "das Zwischenmenschliche"). [68] Michael H. Hutchins (14 August 2006). "A Tom Stoppard Bibliography: Chronology". The Stephen Sondheim Reference Guide . Retrieved 2008-06-23. The follow up to Differently Morphous . Magic is no longer a tightly guarded governmental secret and possessed individuals are to be referred to as "dual consciousness" with the proper pronoun for that specific individual. Honderich, Ted, ed. (1995). Oxford Companion to Philosophy. New York: Oxford University Press. p. 259. ISBN 978-0-19-866132-0.Another bloody brilliant entry from Yahtzee boy. You'll probs have to read Differently Morphous which is the first book of this series (and a solid 4*s) but this, the sequel, is just brilliant! The characters are all fantastic, including Miracle Dad and the hapless Adam who is petrified that his mate Victor has found an arch nemesis without him. Marcuse, Herbert. "Sartre's Existentialism". Printed in Studies in Critical Philosophy. Translated by Joris De Bres. London: NLB, 1972. p. 161. It's not a perfect story, the characters are not the greatest or consistant, the main plot is a bit too slow to progress.
