Influenced by Heidegger’s 1947 ‘Letter on Humanism’, structuralist and post-structuralist critics have both argued that existentialism is synonymous with a naïve ‘humanist’ idea of the subject. Such identification has led to the movement’s dismissal as a credible philosophy; this book aims to challenge such a view. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThrough a lucid and thought-provoking exploration of the concept of perversity in Sartre and Nietzsche, Mitchell argues that understanding the human as a ‘perversion’ of something other than itself allows us to have a philosophy of the human \u003ci\u003ewithout\u003c\/i\u003e the humanist subject. In short, through perversion, we can talk about the human as not merely \u003ci\u003ehaving\u003c\/i\u003e a relation to the world, but of \u003ci\u003ebeing\u003c\/i\u003e that relation. With an explicit defence of Sartre against the charge of humanism, accompanied by a novel and distinctive reinterpretation of Nietzsche, Mitchell recovers an existentialism that is at once both radical and philosophically relevant. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Palgrave Macmillan\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2020-04-12\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Hardcover\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9783030431075\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-3-030-43108-2\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 210cm x148cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 192\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer International Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47710800838796,"sku":"9783030431075","price":80.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9783030431075.jpg?v=1776790681","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9783030431075","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
