It's a complicated subject with many considerations to digest and the material is presented in sequences that are reinforced section after section making it fairly easy to understand. Bravo. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Smarter than Your Average Philosopher (Apologies to Yogi) *by S***Y on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on June 14, 2015* I took two philosophy courses as an undergraduate. The "Logic" course was good but the instructor was nutty. In the second course the full professor was nutty and so were all seven or eight of the students. That was the end of philosophy for me for fifty years, i.e. there seemed to be a strong positive correlation between philosophy and nutty people. Then I happened to watch a raunchy pre-code Barbara Stanwyck movie "Babyface" and one character made reference to Nietzsche. My interest was rekindled. I bought Panza's book.Panza and his co-author are able to take the ramblings of many philosophers and actually make sense of, in this case, existentialism. Starting with the "God is dead" statement they explain simply that it means that science has destroyed the order in our civilization that the Church gave us. We must find something else. From here they go on to explain that reality can't be seen or understood because of our moods, they interpret much of the world as we see it. Next they go on to anxiety, yeah I suffer from anxiety as we all do. What's that lyric: tired of livin' but scared of dyin'?This leads us to the need to find some meaning in life. Well I won't go on and beat a dead horse. Just let me say the book is a fun read; yes, they are a bit humorous, and they explain this arcane bit of philosophy quite well. So am I an existentialist? Probably, just hope I don't turn nutty. Buy the book. ### ⭐⭐⭐ Excellent until it gets bogged down... *by R***T on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on December 18, 2020* I have had a decades long fascination with existentialism going back to the 1970s and picked up this book out of general interest. I thought that the initial 100 or so pages were excellent, informative, and poignant. But then the book went off the rails when the authors turned to the main tenets of various existentialist’s individual philosophies. The presentations are certainly comprehensive and detailed, but are so dense and obscure that they added nothing to my understanding of the topic. The minutiae of Heidegger’s philosophy receives much more coverage than necessary and the points made are difficult to make sense of. I stopped reading half way through the 10th chapter devoted to Kierkegaard because the coverage became even less comprehensible. This book would have been excellent had the dense minutiae of the various philosopher’s thinking been edited, similar to how concisely John-Paul Sartre’s philosophy was presented. Although part of the “Dummies” series, far too much extraneous information is included in the middle chapters but I rate the book three stars on the depth of the authors’ research and their desire to be comprehensive. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.be/products/8310659-existentialism-for-dummies](https://www.desertcart.be/products/8310659-existentialism-for-dummies) --- *Product available on Desertcart Belgium* *Store origin: BE* *Last updated: 2026-05-01*
