Dr. Walter Kaufmann, philosophy professor at Princeton University, begins this series by explaining that existentialists share as many differences as other schools of philosophy. First coined to refer to the theories of Jaspers and Heidegger, existentialism became well-known only after the work of Kierkegaard, Sartre, and Nietzsche all radical individualists who found previous philosophical systems lacking. He explains their writings as an answer to the modern crisis in religious philosophy and morality.
