How could a life stripped of ultimate meaning be anything but absurd? How was man to live? How could he find direction in a world of no direction? What would be tell his children that could make their lives worthwhile? What is the ground of morality?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eExistentialism is the literary \u003cem\u003ecri de coeur\u003c\/em\u003e resulting from the realization that without God, everything good, true and beautiful in human life is destined to be destroyed in a pitiless material cosmos. Theodore Dalrymple and Kenneth Francis examine the main existentialist works, from Ecclesiastes to the Theatre of the Absurd, each man coming from a different perspective. Francis is a believer, Dalrymple is not, but both empathize with the struggle to find meaning in a seemingly meaningless universe.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePart literary criticism, part philosophical exploration, this book holds many surprising gems of insight from two of the most interesting minds of our time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 158\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.37 x 8.5 x 5.5 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e December 10, 2018\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52703563350323,"sku":"9781943003228","price":28.58,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0300\/5595\/6612\/files\/dk1tN0RRd3ZrQlpobWlEVHVXSVRTUT09.webp?v=1763330384","url":"https:\/\/www.vysn.com\/en-ca\/products\/the-terror-of-existence-from-ecclesiastes-to-theatre-of-the-absurd-paperback","provider":"VYSN","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
