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\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Theodore Dalrymple, Francis Kenneth\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 194300322X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781943003228\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e World Encounter Institute\/New English Review\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/10\/2018\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 158\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.46lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.50w x 0.37d","brand":"Theodore Dalrymple","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44046099480831,"sku":"9781943003228","price":19.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_41b9152a-6bd5-4949-b9ab-4c5bc5b81714.jpg?v=1684982625","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-terror-of-existence-theodore-dalrymple-9781943003228","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
