The book illustrates how figures like Kierkegaard and Nietzsche challenged prevailing rationalist paradigms, thereby shaping the philosophical landscape that would give rise to movements centered on individual freedom and responsibility. With rigorous analysis, it details the complex intellectual currents that define "From Rationalism To Existentialism: The Existentialists And Their Nineteenth-Century Backgrounds," offering a comprehensive understanding of this pivotal period in Western philosophy.
