I'm only a recent student of philosophy so reading original texts is difficult. The thorough introductions to each writer gave me a fighting chance of understanding some of it! I wish the intros had included a tiny bit more biographical info, but otherwise this is a good intro to Existentialist thinkers.

Great general intro to the topic of existential philosophy for anyone interested in the subject. Reads like a textbook cause it is.
