More about the book

The book delves into the complexities of Existentialist philosophies, highlighting the challenges of translating abstract concepts from French to English. The translator grapples with conveying intricate ideas and long, complex sentences typical of French academic writing, while maintaining the original meaning. Key terms like "anguish" and "transcendence" pose additional challenges due to their nuanced meanings in Existentialist thought. Mounier references various philosophers, including Kierkegaard and Nietzsche, providing a comprehensive overview of the subject despite linguistic hurdles.
