A Must-Read!

For those interested in the philosophy of existential phenomenology, I highly recommend this book. This book is an abridgement of William Luijpen's "Existential Phenomenology". This edition is necessary since the book from which it came is quite dense and not easily understandable. But this does not take the challenge from the book. Although this is a relatively easier read, it is still full of wonderful insights on the nature of existential phenomenology. With the topics ranging from existence, love, hate and freedom, and discussions on the ideas of Heidegger, Sartre, and other phenomenologists and existentialists, this book is highly recommended and is a good text for those who want to teach the philosophy of man using an existential and phenomenological viewpoint.
