"What is Existentialism" by William Barrett
"Reason itself can no longer be looked upon as the simple faculty of a soul or mind; viewed concretely, it shows itself as a complicated structure evolved by culture and history, as, in the sphere of morals, the complexity of the superego takes place of the older simple 'moral sense.'"
This book will be a triumph to finish. At one time I could finish atleast one novel (of about 300 or so pages) during one sitting at night. Thanks to lovely insomnia and speed reading. Thus, this is the first book I have been unable to apply myself and read during one sitting because I actually have to get up and think. Nietzsche was the same, but only at the end of his pragmatic books. No other philosophy has brought forth such questioning.
I like it.
