Irrational Man

Irrational Man: A Study In Existential Philosophy is a 1958 book by William Barrett which served to introduce existentialism to the English speaking world. Barrett's writing style is conversational, and he takes time to define terms and give the reader background on philosophical terms and concepts, so the book is aimed at a general reader curious about the topic.
