Metaphysics and Absurdity

Beschreibung

Blocker argues that the literary problem of absurdity is basically a metaphysical problem of being, focusing on the metaphysical distinction of being as essence and being as existence. This book compares philosophical prose with the fiction writing of four major absurdist writers--Camus, Sartre, Ionesco, and Beckett.
