<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>Part literary criticism, part philosophical exploration, this book holds many surprising gems of insight from two of the most interesting minds of our time.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>The cultural death of God has created a conundrum for intellectuals. 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?</p><p>Existentialism is the literary <em>cri de coeur</em> 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.</p><p>Part literary criticism, part philosophical exploration, this book holds many surprising gems of insight from two of the most interesting minds of our time.</p>
